Ewwww.  We found this a couple of weekends ago while visiting the country.  Another good reason to stay in the city for sure!

I googled it and found out that it's a male Dobsonfly.  They are about 5 inches long, which is just what this rather larger fellow appeared to be.  The males have pincers too long to bite but the females are a different story!  Don't make one of those babies mad!  I poked at and irritated this one enough that it did a bit of posturing and threatening as people looked on and gave me odd looks (big chickens!)

Luckily it didn't get so threatened that it used it's last line of defense.  A foul smelling anal spray.  That would have been fun.
