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.
