Corydalinae || Dobson Fly
Hello Beauty of Creativity Community!
The type of insect that I share is named Corydalinae which is a subfamily of insects in the order megaloptera and family Corydalidae based on Wikipedia.
But in everyday life people often say that this insect is a dobson fly or an eastern female dobson fly because I photographed it in the east as an eastern person because it can be of different types depending on the hemisphere where the dobson fly is located, the name and type will also be different, I think.
In addition to the dobson fly, this insect is also known as the "King Insect" because of its king-like characteristics according to several sources that I read mentioned so and even some of the closest parents to me said that this insect was a king insect.
Honestly, I've never seen this type of insect before. I photographed this insect not in the vicinity of where I live but in a cold plateau that is different from my region and city.
At that time I was going to the restroom of a tourist spot in the highlands of Aceh, and I saw this dobson insect on the wall of the building that was newly built by the owner of the tourist spot. As soon as I saw it, I was a little hesitant to take a picture of it afraid I was a dangerous insect but somehow I got the courage to take a picture of it.
But there was one insect that fell to the black floor as big as my fist that I didn't dare take a picture of it. And I don't know what it's called!
So, what exactly is a dobson fly? Here are some pictures as the answer.
