Assassin BugsMantid / looks like walking stick
Please let me know when you have seen the images and if you find the exact species name. Up close it looked exactly like a preying mantis with a head shaped slightly different. Thank you for your help,

Hi again Van,
Thank you for allowing us to post your excellent photos of an amazing insect, a Thread Legged Bug.
Ed. Note: Eric Eaton just provided us with the following information, and Van has provided additional photos.
(11/11/2005) “I would need to know the size of the critter to tell you even what genus it might be in. If it is 30+ mm, then it has to be Emesaya brevipennis. If it is under that size, then it is probably a species of Empicoris or Barce. I didn’t check to see where the image was shot, as there could be more possibilities in the southern U.S. Eric”
