FYI

Thanks to those of you who tried to identify my bug. I went on the Internet and found it. It is a Twostriped Walking Stick and it is a member of the palmetto family. They eat green leafy plants such as rose bushes. They are always in pairs - male and female. Isn't that ironic!! Even the animals and insects know the right way to live. They also have a white milky secretion that comes out of the thorax area when they are preyed upon. Otherwise a very harmless bug.

Thanks again for your comments and helping my to figure out my visitor.
