    Bugs in the yard....

    This stick bug was on my front door the other day....I hadn't seen stick bugs for years until this year this is the 3rd one I've seen....






    And earlier this year I saw this huge praying mantis on the side of my house....


    I can't help but think this is one of her offspring....


    To show its size....
