WHO ARE YOU? ( who-who-who-who??)


I saw this guy on my driveway yesterday.

I don't know him! DO YOU?

He was a strange looking fellow - skinny and dark gray-ish and about 3 inches long!

( please excuse the blurry picture...my hand was a bit shaky...) :(

  1. That looks like what we call a 'walking stick' and if so and I have my information correct, it is a good bug and eats bad bugs. ec

  2. EC,

    Yes, I think you're right about that. I did a quick search and found some that looked a lot like this one. (Walking Sticks)
    Probably are 'good' bugs , as you say, but it sure is strange looking!

    guy. Thanks for your comments June, about the Sorry Housewife. She was sorry indeed. Take care, Love, Merle.
