Male Dobsonfly
Dear Dogmom,
Because of their large size and frightening appearance, Dobsonflies are one of our most common summer identification requests. Despite his scimitar-like mandibles, this male Dobsonfly is perfectly harmless. The much smaller mandibles on the female Dobsonfly are more functional and she can produce a painful pinch that might even draw blood.
