Whatzit - Chauliodes rastricornis - Male
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
May 7, 2006
Size: about 39 mm
I let it loose in the rain this morning after the shoot. I was afraid it would batter its wings if I kept it in a container.

I would say it is a male Chauliodes rastricornis, the Spring Fishfly.

Thank you, Sean. It's very similar,
although the necklace is not as prominent and there are a few other minor differences. I think Ill put it on the genus page and see what others say.

this is a fishfly
not a dobson fly. they are not the same. female dobson flys have larger mandibles than fishflies, which lack them.
