What in God's Name is This!?!?! [pics]
 

I was outside and I saw this monster and I have never seen anything like it before. You can't tell how big it is from the pictures but it was about 4 - 5 inches long and looked demonic!!! Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

that looks scary I hate them :helpme

kill it and kill it fast lol

is it dead now? i hate insects

:smokin

that, my friend, is something i would have stepped on.

never seen like it... may you should have brought it the lab to find out what kind is it

I think you'd better kill it before it kills you :helpme

i think that's a moth....different kind though...:D

that's the missing link!!!

dobsonfly, common name for a group of insects of the order Megaloptera, found throughout E North America. The adults may be 5 in. (12.7 cm) long; the male has mandibles half as long as the body. They are soft-bodied insects with a fluttery flight, and are largely nocturnal. Despite their strong jaws, the adults probably do not eat, living only long enough to lay large egg masses near water. The large aquatic larvae, called hellgrammites and much used by fishermen as bait, feed on aquatic insects for three years and then emerge to pupate on land. The closely related alderflies differ from the dobsonflies in their smaller size and diurnal habits. Dobsonflies are classified in the phylum Arthropoda, class Insecta, order Neuroptera, family Corydalidae.

Cripes, look at the pinchers on that bug!!!

Well they just eat other bugs so that's not so bad.

You don't hate them. You're just scared of them.

YOU CAN STEP ON IT!!!

Yep... looks like that one :thumbsup

thats a nasty looking bug

you're gay :321GFY

put that sucker on a fish hook, I bet you'll get some top water action

Those things are bad ass and try to bite you if you fuck with them. They're in New England too.

I hate insects :mad: :Oh crap

both actually :helpme

why would you want to kill something that hasnt hurt you ? Being ugly, creepy, is no reason to kill it :2 cents:

I didn't harm it, I just went back inside and it was gone when I came back out. I had to take pics though because I've never seen anything like it.

damn, its ugly

that is the ugliest bug I have ever seen...

No shit!!!

I love top water baits, I love the action..when they hit it :pimp

OK, I live in Florida too and about a month ago I had some freaky ass bug by my front door. It didn't look like the bug you posted but it did look demonic. I took a pic and should upload it.
