Found a thread legged bug. I feel dumb now thinking it was my first ever walkingstick. But hey you learn something new every day.

Sorry for the horrible picture but it won't stay still.

Strange, raptor arms and all though I had to look them up online. Danny you plan on keeping it? Sounds like it wouldn't be trouble to keep as it eats what a mantid would.

Can't blame you there, as you likely have enough pet insects to keep you plenty busy without a new one.

Where do they live?

Bushes or tall grass? Found this one walking up the brick wall next to the grass.
