	Dobsonfly
		The dobsonfly spends most of its life as a predaceous larva in streams.
		In creating wings this time, I pulled out the individual layers radially in a way I haven't tried before.
		(Note- most real dobsonfly males have jaws that are even larger than these)

	Dobsonfly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dobsonflies have large, powerful jaws, and in the case of females, are capable of drawing blood from humans.
		Though both male and female hellgrammites have short, sharp mandibles, those of the male dobsonfly are much bigger than the females' and are unable to harm humans, as they're so long and flexible that they are incapable of breaking the skin.
		Both male and female dobsonflies can reach lengths up to five inches, measured from the tips of their pincers to the tips of their wings, which, when not in use, are folded along the length of their walkingstick-like bodies.

	Dobsonfly
		The Dobsonfly's larvae (picture above) are called "hellgrammites." They spend most of their lives underwater in fast-moving parts of streams and rivers.
		After the adult dobsonflies mate, the female lays eggs on a branch or on rocks near a stream.
		Eastern Dobsonflies are often attracted to lights at night.

		It is interesting that dobsonfly larvae obtain dissolved oxygen through abdominal lateral filaments and tracheal gills, but have also spiracles that allow them for direct intake of air.
