California Dobsonfly, aka Gray Fishfly - Neohermes californica

California / El Dorado County / Placerville

This animal had crawled up into the tight space between our window screen and a piece of plexiglas we
had screwed to the screen's frame. I had to take this photo through the plexiglas as it (she, I
think) would not come out.

Notice the antennae, like a string of beads and each bead sprouting tiny hairs. Antennae that are like
a string of beads are called "moniliform".
