Bug ID

[Ryan D]

A little off topic but I couldn't think of a better group of people to ask. I found this bug hiding in my porch umbrella. Anyone know what it is?

[Jim White]

Holy smokes...that looks like a big bug!

Had to have been 3in long. And it made some kind of loud bug shriek before is scampered off into my yard.

Could I follow this up with another bug ID request. This is only the second time I've ever seen this bug, but I got a picture of it this time. They are huge - a whole day's worth of fish food in one bite! I did an overnight kayak trip down the James between Eagle Rock and Buchanan (pics/gopro vid to come) and this pterodactyl flew straight to my lantern. 

It looked like 4 huge dragonfly-esque wings that folded back over the body, and a huge thorax. Also, two inch long pincers on its head. 

Thanks!

Insects are endlessly fascinating and usually incompatible with young daughters in which case it causes this ear-splitting keening and screaming at nearly but not quite the frequencies dog can hear. ;-) Ryan's is some kind of beetle, possibly a helpful one that eats insect pests. Not sure about yours, Forrest, I'm having trouble making it out.
