Female "devil rider"
This is a female "devil rider" or "musk mare" walkingstick, Anisomorpha buprestoides. Careful, they can squirt a rank, milky liquid from glands in their "neck." If the jet hits you in a mucous membrane it is very painful. They can shoot pretty accurately, too. These, like many walkingsticks, can pair up for very long periods of time, hence the common names. Neat find.
