I agree that this is most likely an Eastern Dobsonfly, Corydalus cornutus. http://bugguide.net/node/view/4873

What about Corydalus cornutus, Eastern Dobsonfly. It is quite common in the eastern part of US. But as Gordon told, there might be some other ones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corydalus_cornutus

Mike, This is one of the dobsonflies in the subfamily Corydalinae. There are lots of species, so can't narrow it down any more than that. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobsonfly for more information.
