Dobsonflies are not dangerous to humans. While they possess large mandibles that can deliver a painful bite, they are not aggressive and typically only bite if handled. Their larvae, known as hellgrammites, can be found in freshwater habitats and are sometimes used as fishing bait. Overall, dobsonflies pose minimal risk and are more of a curiosity in nature.

Do dobsonflies bite?

Male dobsonflies do not bite because their mandibles are too large for them to have control and therefore break human skin. Female's mandibles are longer though. They can then bite humans. (A very painful bite.)


See the life cycle of dobsonflies?

Dobsonflies undergo a complete metamorphosis, consisting of four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The female lays eggs in or near water, and the larvae, known as hellgrammites, live in aquatic environments, feeding on small organisms. After several molts, the larvae pupate, often in moist soil or debris. Finally, adult dobsonflies emerge, characterized by their large size and distinctive long mandibles, and they typically live for only a few weeks, primarily to reproduce.
