CLOSED: Bizarre Bug in South Lake Tahoe

San Francisco, CA

Hi All,

I've been trying to figure out what this insect is, but nothing seems to match up. It kind of resembles an ant lion or a dobsonfly... any ideas? Spotted mid-day in South Lake Tahoe, roughly two months ago. It is probably an inch and a half long.

Thanks!

Neil

It looks like a female Dobsonfly. That would be an ovapositor on her backside.
