Do you have these bugs in Texas?
They were all over the place at my mother in laws house and they are really scary looking. And those huge things on the first one's head are pinchers. Apparently, the first is male and the second a female of the same type of bug. The website I got the photo from says the male has those huge pinchers but only the female's bite hurts.
Oh and those photos are actual size on my monitor.
That is a scary one! The male one looks like a damsel fly, which comes out for a couple of weeks in late spring/early summer around water. What are they called?
