OK
Don't worry about it. These are Leaf-footed bugs. Just remember most big bugs don't like to go in water but they need a little drink sometimes in hot weather. You might find something about this one on this Austin bug page http://www.austinbug.com/survey/2011/sur...
Is it endangered?
Do you know the name of the bug?
Oh yeah, Taylor is my sister. That is why we have the same picture
I'm sorry
It was dead when we found it in our pool
A lot of creatures try to drink water in hot weather and get stuck. This one does not like water to live in. It should be up in a tree.
We found it in water
This is the same one as Taylor's. Please don't drown it. They don't like being in water.
