      Thanks! I thought it was a dobsonfly at first, until I noticed the antennae. Posted 5 years ago

      Yes! I with they didn't always insist on landing on my deck chairs though...It's hard to get a clear shot of them when they are camouflaged. And, this is one insect that I don't like to touch. These (and dobsonflies) have a really creepy, tissue paper feel and they smell gross. Posted 5 years ago

        I'll take your word for it, if somebody who likes to touch leeches is grossed out, I'm convinced. Posted 5 years ago
