Corydalus cornutus
The Eastern Dobsonfly, Corydalus cornutus, is a large insect in the Corydalidae family. It is found in eastern North America in regions with fast-flowing streams where its aquatic larvae develop. These are known as hellgrammites and are the top invertebrate predators in the streams in which they live. They are used by anglers as bait.

Oh cool I found one of these killing another one at my grandparents house in the country pretty cool!
on second glance I think they are really similar but different ;)
Hi Lisa, I have the same spotting but someone ID'd it as a darkfish fly. Do you know if Dobson is another name for the same species?
