Unknown bug - Myrmeleon immaculatus
Worcester, Massachusetts, USA
July 3, 2016
"Dragonfly Mimic" Flew in my front door on 07/03/2016 for a quick visit. At first, I thought it was a dragonfly from its shape, but on further inspection, dragonflies don't have antennae and their wings are shaped differently. I suspect that it's some type of moth though I've never seen that type before. Finally got it back outside.
