Emesaya brevipennis
Stick-like insect. Has piercing mouthparts, so I suspect it is a Hemipteran.
On a picnic bench, near mixed hardwood forest.
Looks like a match with this one: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/733....

I agree. I think you'd have to have some familiarity with insects to notice that this is not a regular stick insect.
interesting insect. People hardly believe this is not a Stick insect but a predator bug
Cool find and thanks for the info! At first glance I thought it was one of those flying insects that looks like a giant mosquito, but as with most of my first impressions of bugs, I was wrong.
