This beast is about 3.5 INCHES long. What is it?

Looks just like the evil creature I found a while back that Doctorant ID'd as Megaloptera.
Yeah, I had to get rid of it at that point.
Neighbors would've freaked? Oh no it's ET!

Under a rock in a recently dried up, yet still damp portion of Trabuco Creek.
I think it's a Dobson fly.

You both are right. Upon google image searching Megaloptera, I found ones that looked exactly like the one I found. I also read that their larvae take YEARS to develop. And after adulthood they've only a few days or even hours to mate before they die. Geez.

I found one in my basement on my worm bin[I have since moved it upstairs as I don't want those things in with my worms ]
Maybe a megaloptera imago?
Actually, that's not a megalopteran at all. It's a stonefly. Means you've got clean rivers.
Brundle Fly!
I find those nasty things at night next to my porch light all the time, usually clip off there mandibles and feed it to my fire belly toads, lol
