Preying Mantiswhats this bug? walking stick?
It looks like a walking stick but it has wings and only 4 legs. Could this be something else? I found it on my house this afternoon. I live in Ocean Springs, MS.

Hi Andrew,
This appears to be a Grasslike Mantis, Thesprotia graminis, a winged male. It is a southern species that is often confused for a Walkingstick.
