unknown insect - Emesaya
Arcadia Lake , Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, USA
July 1, 2011
Size: 2 1/2 inches
This large, delicate creature looked like a small stick insect, but it had wings. The forelegs bent like a praying mantis, plus it had long antenae. It crept along slowly through the underbrush. Found in the central Oklahoma plains.
