How far away from me are you? He's cool looking - I have an empty 55 gal aquarium that would love to house an interesting critter like that. lol
What does it eat (besides people on computers.....?)

Drat, I'm not so good at growing plants. Do weeds count as stick bug food? I have lots and lots of those. That ,I can grow. lol

The one pictured here looks to be a (texas) Giant Walkingstick, they eat grapvines and oak leaves I belive.

Definitely not a mantis. But it is a beautiful creature.

Rosie, our JRT, would kill it for you!

Shes really good at bugs.

I'd be making me some stick figures out of those things!

Well, Kitt didn't come back this morning. I'm afraid the stick bug fell on her during the night.

Imp- I think it was very faint screaming that woke me up this morning. It was coming from the South East of me.

Poor Kitt
