Facts
The Dobsonfly
larva is found in relatively non-polluted water so they are
valued in bio-monitoring studies (Hall,
2008).
The larvae molt 10-12 times and require
one to three years to complete their development
(Hall, 2008).
The larvae
are great bait to use for fishing, but uncommon to find in the
stomachs of fish in nature, probably because they hide
themselves under rocks where they are difficult to find
(Hall, 2008).
