We just moved to Virginia, and wow is it a busy insect place! Mostly good guys, but this huge thing showed up when we lit the lanterns on 4th of July. Landed on both of us before settling on the side of the barn. What IS it? It is about 4 inches in length.

Thank you!
At least it means that we have high quality, well-oxygenated water :) It must be the dobsonfly time of year!
