Found this guy in Central PA. He’s 4.5 inches long. I’m guessing he’s some kind of cicada. Any expert opinions?
Update: he’s a male Eastern dobsonfly.

Never seen one before. I can’t believe we let these live in peace in our own country while we attack distant countries.
I spent the week-end fighting bedbugs.
I hear that 70% of US households have bedbugs.
Shoud bedbug elimination be a National Priority?
