Assassin BugsWalking stick identity
We found this insect inside our house. It appears to be a walking stick, but much smaller and finer than the ones we usually see. It is a little over two inches long including its folded legs in front. It has light colored speckles/stripes on its back sets of legs. Could you tell me what species it might be? We are in Asheville, NC in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Thank you,
Angie
Hi Angie,
This is a Thread Legged Bug in the Assassin Bug subfamily Emesinae, probably Emesaya brevipennis.
