Skwerl58 740 #3 Posted September 3, 2024 Looks to be a "walking stick". See them here in SWVA along with a few praying mantis. They do give some the "willies, ughh". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beap52 1,071 #11 Posted September 3, 2024 Used to play with walking sticks-probably still would if I was to come across one. I googled and found out they are herbivorous. For some reason, I thought they ate other insects. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
