Dobsonfly

This is a ferocious looking insect that was on my front screen in Central MA tonight. I had to ask my amateur entomologist friend what it was. He knew in about 15 seconds. I was talking to another friend on my cell phone....I don't usually talk to myself while playing with insects.

Yeah I liven in Allentown, PA and let me tell you. I was outside in the backyard and I felt something on my back and that shit was on the back of my t-shirt.

Luckily NO one was around. You remember that movie Accepted, where their in the mental house for the first time and that dead body falls down and the fat guy screams like a girl.

Yeah, totally me lol.

The presence of dobsonfly is an environmental indicator that you live in an area that is highly irradiated ...

Wait, just kidding. Correction: the dobsonfly is an environmental indicator that your home is situated in an area free of manmade pollution. The larvae of dobsonfly cannot develop in sick rivers and streams.

You are truly blessed!

We saw 5 of them on a house we were sitting at in New Preston, CT. Looked them up and found that when they're larvae, they bite very hard.... we had been in the river the day before.  These things are HUGE.... but fishermen love them...
