That's pretty neat. Used to find them when we were kids and haven't seen one in years. Thanks
That's actually a Thread-legged Bug...but they are very often mistaken for Walking Sticks. You took a very nice shot of it.
neat
Mus, thanks for the info.
I thought it was a small Walking Stick.

Yep...Body like a Walking Stick and arms like a Praying Mantis...most folks think they are an immature of one or the other. I like your photo better...it shows the small wings on the critter!
Here's a picture of a Butterfly at our home a month or so ago.
Now I know it's name...
The Bordered Patch

Again, Hern...you've got another one of those "look-alikes". The butterfly in your photo is the Red Admiral. Check the differences here in the same website. But once again...NICE SHOT!!!

Nice photographs.
Thanks everyone.

Thanks again, Mus.
I stand corrected.

Hern....Hmmm?? It looks a lot like one called the "Pale Beauty"...(Campaea perlata)...But those little light colored moths are tough for me be positive about. Here's a link to another photo of one. If it's not the correct species, I would at least believe it's in the same family. Someone else may have right answer to this one.
