Dobson fly on the side of a house. Massachusetts, July 2010
Dobson fly larvae live in water and eat other larvae. Adults are not known to eat. They live for about a week as adults and are rarely seen since they are nocturnal and spend their days hiding under tree canopies. #nature #insects #nocturnal #dobsonfly #365species #biodiversity
FIRST MEGALOPTERAN OF 2025! Seeing a dobsonfly means bug season is finally gonna start to really pick up, and I can hardly wait. >:D

A larvae of *corydalus texanus* (Megaloptera:Corydalidae) seen digging a burrow in a sandy stream bank in order to pupate. The larvae is large, dark and leather. The most distinctive feature is its large sclerotized head with mean-looking mandibles.
It must be #Dobsonfly season. I just spent 3 days on the Colorado River and we saw no less than 5 #Hellgrammite larvae crawling on the bank. These aquatic species dig a burrow in the bank to pupate before the short-lived adults emerge to reproduce. #AquaticInvertebrates #streamEcology
went on an uhhhhh international collaboration program? idk, went to Slovakia and did arts and crafts with other art college students, was fun. and on brand for me, i did bugs.
