Male dobsonflies do not bite because their mandibles are too large for them to have control and therefore break human skin. Female's mandibles are longer though. They can then bite humans. (A very painful bite.)

Yes, dobsonflies have strong mandibles and can deliver a painful bite if handled roughly. However, they are not aggressive and typically only bite in self-defense. It's best to avoid handling dobsonflies to prevent any potential bites.
