The insect with the jaws is a Dobson Fly. A female. The males have longer jaws but the females hurt allot more because of the shorter, more powerful jaws. Sure looks like the same species that is in the US. The larvae are frequently called "hellgrammites" and are used by people that fish as bait. Pretty common in clear, fast moving streams and rivers. You can find them under rocks. Pretty weird larvae.

This 'stuff' belongs to Megaloptera?... OMG I've never seen anything like this. In Poland we have only 4 species, too small and all very rare. This one is fantastic.
...and this Orthoptera specie... amazing! :clap:
