Our biologists found this dobsonfly larva (just before its adult stage) in Little Barton Creek during biological sampling for the Environmental Integrity Index (EII). Watch its gills pulse as it gathers oxygen from the water. Dobsonflies are sensitive to environmental conditions so their presence is an indicator of good water quality.

Solvia Origin on Instagram: "‼️The Dobsonfly: An Ancient River Predator Disguised as an Insect‼️ - The dobsonfly (family Corydalidae) is one of the largest and most misunderstood insects on Earth, not because of what it does as an adult, but because of the life it lives before anyone ever sees it. Adults typically measure 9–13 cm (3.5–5 inches) in wingspan, making them among the largest flying insects in North America and parts of Asia.

Andrew Raciti on Instagram: "The jaws on a Dobsonfly are WILD! This is a female, and while their jaws are much shorter than the males, they can produce a more painful bite. Certainly wouldn’t do so unless provoked, though! #wildlife #bugs #critters"
