I don't see a long needle going down from the head and the eyes are more rounded and bulding than any mosquito I've seen.

Honestly, I do not know. I collected over 20 bugs for a Bio II project, and I never had that type of insect. I can tell you this though. :lol: My Bio II teacher would most likely be able to tell you what that is. Sadly, I do not have the insect book I was using. Looking at it, it could be maybe be a horsefly or something close to one. I know for a fact, though, that that is not a mosquito. Mosquitos are smaller, and the giant ones are usually craneflies. You can tell the difference when it comes to male mosquito and craneflies because craneflies have two like bulbs under its wings.

The long, tube-like abdomen of the insect seems to point to it being a dragonfly.

I can't see the pictures well. Do you have any better pictures than the ones you showed us? The ones you showed us are blurry and quite hard to tell, plus with the flash. That's why I said it looked like a mayfly, just by the abdomen. If you have better pictures, it may help. Now if it was a Giant Ichimon (sp?), I could tell you right off the bat that it was. :( I was sort of hoping it was one too. Sadly, it's not.

Not off hand no, but you might be able to find one if you google it. There was one website that I did use, but that was to find out the type of moth I found and to see if the Giant Ichimon I had was a Giant Ichimon. I can't remember what it was called.

Edit: :P Giant Ichneumon is what I was looking for.

I was half expecting it to be one of those spider-crickets. Scary things, those are.

This reminds me of an all-white bug i saw last year. It made a sound like a cricket except when it did it it made a white vibrating sphere on its back. Well it was annoying the hell out of my so i finished him but then regretted it because ive never seen one like it and its species is now surely extinct :(
