This is a LARGE stick bug or walking cane, or whatever it's called, but I was wondering if anyone knew just what kind. I actually found it stuck in my hair while I was trimming my trees and actually thought it WAS a twig until I pulled it off and it caught on my shirt! Great camoflage! Anyway, it's approximately four inches long, (five when stretched out pretending to be wood) and absolutely pet-worthy, but happier outside. I put it into an mountain ash tree because the bark was the same colour, so did I do right, I hope?
