      I had similar thoughts about this one also. Design and textures are so intricate and beautiful, yet very "monster" in the sense that they are the top invertebrate predators in the streams in which they live. Posted 2 years ago

The Eastern Dobsonfly

The eastern dobsonfly, "Corydalus cornutus", is a large insect in the Corydalidae family. It is found in eastern North America in regions with fast-flowing streams where its aquatic larvae develop. These are known as hellgrammites and are among the top invertebrate predators in the streams in which they live. They are used by anglers as bait.
