Dobsonflies (Family Corydalidae) on Aug 27, 2022
Submitter does not have a specimen
Description of specimen
Approximately 2” long. This large moth-like creature flew in with a companion last night. The other one seemed to leave but this one is currently stuck in my bedroom. I usually just let them die from dehydration. But, I’m not sure if this is invasive and/or dangerous?
No, it's not dangerous. That's a dobsonfly (family Corydalidae). They are attracted to lights at night. You can put it back outside.
