#Erioptera chlorophylla

[onenicebugperday]

@schrodingers-cate​ submitted: Hi again, from [removed] (remove please)! Heres another lovely set of bugs ive been collecting pictures of. Im really interested in the ID for these, ESPECIALLY the really large larva . He was so big i spotted him from a second story window of the house next to the driveway he was crawling on. If it helps, that larva was right next to a small creek on a rainy day. Thanks so much!!

Great group of weird pals! The beetle is an oak timberworm weevil and the green fellow looks like a crane fly in the genus Erioptera, mayyyyybe Erioptera chloroplylla. The big larva is a dobsonfly! They’re aquatic as larvae, but leave the water to pupate :)
