@4kitties, I'd never heard of walking stick bugs! They are so neat! I could watch them all day. I love praying mantis too!

Ive lived places where they really created a din on hot summer afternoon but I've never noticed them where I live now near Albuquerque.   Of course my neighborhood isn't exactly Sherwood Forest.


@Kachina624 I absolutely hate that racket they make.  I can remember them being called "Dry Flys" also--associated with the hot hot dry summers in Oklahoma.

And snakes.

 

Other than that, I'm good.


@Puppy Lips,

Especially what we call "unmentionables."

I think the katydid is pretty but the cicada not so much. I'm thinking if the katydid was brown I wouldn't think it was pretty at all.

 Every green bug is pretty to me or yellow or anything but brown.

 

 Black spiders or brown- no ,can't have them around but the kind of clear or white with long delicate legs I think are pretty too and I will take them outside.

 

An exception is black ants. I think they are cute, unless they are in the house or swarming the outside!

 

Does anyone else feel this way?

I'm sure all the bugs think humans are horrible looking.

 

I wonder if it's because the ones starting with an R -ick!! are brown,

so every bug that is brown is creepy too.

I'm sorry bugs.

 

But black ants are ok.

OOO! I just saw the browser arrow out of the corner of my eye and thought it was a bug!!

eeekk!

I will cease talking about it now lol

now that I've totally creeped myself out!

The walking sticks always fascinate me.  Some are brown and some are green.
