Dobsonflies have large, powerful jaws, strong enough even to draw blood from humans. Despite the fact that the males' mandibles are much bigger than the females', they are unable to harm humans.

Anyone else think this is a contradiction? --131.123.86.200 01:11, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes and no; the larvae can draw blood; but the adult males have large mandibles that look fierce but are harmless; off the top of my head I don't know if adult females can draw blood; clarification needed in the article.Dmccabe 02:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

"Hellgrammites" needs to be disambiguated; they're not just a DC supervillian...!
