Quite possibly. Also, a lot of this insect's prey i.e., blackflies etc. need fairly clean water in order to successfully complete their life cycle in larger population densities; so essentially the Dobsonfly will also follow its food source.
@@terra-blegardeningvideos ah true, makes sense, there's a few things here that need clean water, that isn't moving, both pest and predators, some, like frogs, do it for the eggs, but I reckon some of predators would be because of their prey doing it
7 inch wingspan!
yeah, these insects are crazy huge!!
guessing they want healthy water so bacteria etc doesn't mess with them when in mud
