Corydalus sp
Male Dobsonfly (Subfamily Corydalinae) of about 4.5cm from head to the tip of the abdomen. Brown in colour and translucent wings with distinct venation, specially along the wing's top edge. These fierce looking insects are completely harmless, and due to the length of the mandibles they can't even deliver a pinch. They're just used by males when competing for females and otherwise useless.
Rainforest around Palenque in Chiapas, Mexico.
