I don't have a picture unfortunately, but we live in south eastern PA and I have seen several of these large grey insects buzzing around and the tips of the underside of their abdomans are bright red. I have never seen them before last summer and I'm wondering what in the world they are. They look formidable; like something that may bite or sting. Anyone have an idea?

  1. Mosquito?? Sorry, I got nothin..


  2. dragon fly

  3. Is it a locust?

  4. Best guess is a dragonfly.

    If not how many wings, how big.

  5. I would need more of a description.  How big are they?  When they land, what do they do with their wings?  Do the wings stay spread?  Are the wings folded and covered at rest?  Are they more like beetles, or like wasps?

  6. some kind of cicada

    i live in nj
