I accidently disturbed a pair mating when I took this photo @ 8:27pm on my deck. The sun had set within the hour. I have a very woooded back yard with a natural setting.

Anisomorpha
I think the species that ranges into Georgia is Anisomorpha buprestoides, so hopefully someone who knows more can confirm/deny that.

We barely have A. ferruginea in Oklahoma (edge of their range) and I stumbled across a few over the last couple of years. They're a very cool stick insect.

Oh, and the females are the large ones (represented in both of your images). They almost always have a smaller male attached to them at all times. I've separated them to see what happens and they're like magnets. The male quickly reattaches himself to the female. It's really interesting.
