Another bug

 

 

There on the side of the back porch steps.

 

A walking stick!

 

Walking Sticks are nocturnal herbivores.  They walk around and eat plants.  Their camouflage is to remain motionless and look like a twig.  Only one in a thousand walking sticks is a male, so good chance this one pictured is a female.  Inexplicably, she was out of her element, in the middle of the day, on a surface she didn’t blend with.  Lucky us for the photo op.
