Photo of Baby walking stick...?

Hello! I was in the yard building a cabinet for my mom this morning and noticed a tiny bug on one of the shelves. Unfortunately, I don\'t have a picture, and my mom isn\'t home (she has some)... I scribbled a crude image, just so there would be some kind of reference.

Some features I noticed were a fairly long proboscis, antennae with a black dot in the center and a slightly elongated black ball on the ends, and an abdomen slightly fatter than its body. Also, it was just shy of an inch long.

I thought walking stick at first, but I\'ve never seen one... I looked online for a bit and saw similar images of a \"thread legged bug\"... But those seem to have arms like mantids and this little guy definitely did not.

If this is a walking stick, what kind is it? Thanks!
