Could I follow this up with another bug ID request. This is only the second time I've ever seen this bug, but I got a picture of it this time. They are huge - a whole day's worth of fish food in one bite! I did an overnight kayak trip down the James between Eagle Rock and Buchanan (pics/gopro vid to come) and this pterodactyl flew straight to my lantern. 

It looked like 4 huge dragonfly-esque wings that folded back over the body, and a huge thorax. Also, two inch long pincers on its head. 

Thanks!

Forrest
