The hellgrammite larva is the aquatic larval stage of the Dobsonfly (family Corydalidae), a large insect found in North America. These larvae are predatory, living in streams and rivers, where they feed on other aquatic organisms, such as smaller insects, worms, and small fish.

Key Features:
Appearance: Hellgrammites are often large, up to 3-4 inches long, with a robust, segmented body and large, pinching jaws. Their bodies are dark brown or black, and they have six well-developed legs, along with lateral appendages that resemble small "legs."
Habitat: They typically inhabit fast-moving, clean streams or rivers, living in the water's bottom, often under rocks and debris.
Diet: They are carnivorous, using their powerful mandibles to capture and consume prey.
Transformation: After a period of several months to years (depending on environmental conditions), the larvae eventually pupate, emerging as adult dobsonflies. The adults are short-lived, primarily existing to mate and lay eggs.
In fishing, hellgrammites are often used as bait due to their large size and strong movement, which attracts predatory fish.
