Dobsonfly larvae, commonly known as hellgrammites, are primarily preyed upon by various aquatic predators, including fish such as trout and bass. They are also vulnerable to larger insects, amphibians, and birds. The larvae's habitat in freshwater environments makes them a key food source for these predators, contributing to the aquatic food web. Their tough exoskeletons can provide some protection, but they remain an essential part of the diet for many species.
