Spring Fishfly (Chauliodes rastricornis)

Observer

Description

Spring Fishfly - Chauliodes rastricornis (female, ~50 mm length to wingtips)
The two Chauliodes found in this area are a similar. BugGuide summarizes nicely:
"Head and pronotum have dark markings on light brown background, as opposed to yellowish markings on dark brown background of C. pectinicornis. Antennae of females are serrate, while those of males are pectinate. A Chauliodes with serrate antennae should be a female C. rastricornis. Also, note earlier flight (spring) of C. rastricornis in most of the East. C. pectinicornis typically flies in summer."
References

Incidentally, I am pretty sure that yours truly coined the common names "Spring Fishfly" and "Summer Fishfly". I did some edits on the first BugGuide page for those species back in 2004, and I was into coming up with common names back then. The difference in phenology is striking, at least in the mid-Atlantic states. Others picked up these names and they seem to have stuck.
I coined a few other names on BugGuide back then, and some have been adopted by others. I have since given up on that idea. Even considering solely North America, there are too many insects to invent sensible, unique common names for each species.
