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.

Actually, that's not a megalopteran at all. It's a stonefly. Means you've got clean rivers.
