Mystery Solved

Daniel Marlos, at the aforementioned, bug identification website, http://www.whatsthatbug.com, had this to say about our mystery bug:

"We are very surprised that we haven't gotten more requests this year
for Dobsonflies. June and July are generally our peak months for
sightings. Male Dobsonflies have those signature mandibles that make
it virtually impossible to confuse this species to any other."

So, there you have it. The Dobsonfly. Apparently the males long jaws are harmless, though females, with smaller mandibles, will bite ... but stop short of anything more dangerous than a pinch.
