I have been starving a bronchitis infection for 4 days, and not sleeping well to rise this morning very early and discovered this in the kitchen...............What???? It was 6" long. It was huge. I have seen lots of these insects, but never one this large.
Is that a Mantid? They are great for eating all the "bad" bugs in your garden.
ReplyDeleteI carefully grabbed it up with plastic tongs and put it outside. It is called a Walking Stick. It was the biggest thing I ever seen.
ReplyDeleteWalking Sticks have always fascinated me... but I have never seen one that large!
ReplyDeleteI guess it was a little confused. He doesn't seem to blend in too well on a roll of paper towels. :)
I was amazed at the size. I looked it up, and supposedly a Walking Stick can get to 13" in length. I put it back outside where it belonged and hopefully it is eating whatever they eat. .....just not in my kitchen!
ReplyDelete13 inches---eeek! Outside is definitely good...
DeleteStick bug? Neat!
