This little "bugger" was about 6 inches long. Any ideas?I'm off to investigate. I'll be back later to see what you think!
Will today be a busy one for you?
Love, Rachel
UPDATE:
Well well well, we are all agreeing that this bug is a Preying Mantis. We've had a lot of them this year, but they have all been little like this one. This one was huge and so sO SO worthy of his own special blog posting!
Then there is the comment from Mr. RP (romantic porch, ya know) who compared the big bug to the Colts Quarterback Peyton Manning. Mr. RP called it a Manning Preytis! Get it? Oh you'd have to be a Colts fan to understand. But I laughed anyway when I read the comment. I just plain and simply thought it was funny. Thanks for making me laugh Philip.
And to everyone else, thank you for playing my guessing game!
Bye for now, y'all.
Love, Rachel

I wonder if he is what is called a 'walking stick?' He definitely is big!
Have a fun Saturday!
Love, Esther
I love this photo - I agree with Esther, I think he's called a walking stick, but can't swear it is. Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog. Today will be busy, I have to work at the antique shop. Have a great weekend.
It's a praying mantis I think. AKA walking stick
Have a nice weekend!
Praying Mantis gets my vote!
"Praying" you have a fabulous weekend!

With this being Colts country, I would have to go with Manning Preytis,

That's a praying (preying) mantis. They are all over around here, especially in the fall. My kids have always been so fasinated by them, they are cool.

they are harmless, great photo!
Hi, just found you from Penny's blog. It is certainly a praying mantis, but a walking stick bug looks more like a real stick.
In australia it's called a preying mantis or a stick insect. They are common here in the warmer weather.
I enjoy your blog
cheers Erica
