Dobson Fly? - Chauliodes

Dobson Fly? - Chauliodes
New Market, Madison County, Alabama, USA
April 9, 2006
I found this yesterday sitting on the side of the house under my kitchen window. It looks like a dobson fly but I'm not totally sure because of the antennae. Have a look at those wild looking antennae. They are feathery and they curl at the tip. Is this a dobson fly?
