lol GD,
Speaking of walking sticks...I use to have one come around for an occasional visit at the apartment that we lived in on Vance Jackson. This guy was a pretty good size...but I've seen REAL big ones. I actually named him "churro" for the Mexican pastry..lol...Take a look at his photo.. lol...I use to walk around with praying mantises myself as a child. About a month ago I had a big green female hang around on my huge crown of thorns, but only for a few days. I actually had a pet female lay some eggs in our house when I was a child...and my mother recently admitted to me that when she told me that she had taken all of the babies outside....she had actually vacuumed them all up! lol...

Actually, my parents are just west shy of Corpus...'tween Corpus and Laredo. The brush country is beautiful when the powers that be decide to remember it...but brutal when their attentions are elsewhere...lol :)
