Biggest stick bug I've ever seen...

On my backdoor screen. Just look at those pinchers. I first thought it was pine needles stuck on the screen. Yikes!

@marlboromaam mags ...Gauze is a thin, translucent fabric with a loose open weave. In technical terms "gauze" is a weave structure in which the weft yarns are arranged in pairs and are crossed before and after each warp yarn keeping the weft firmly in place.

@onewing Thank you, Babs.

@wh2021 Thank you!

@phil_howcroft LOL! I know what gauze is. I guess you thought the screen was gauze?

If it wasn’t so fragile looking, it would be scary. Nice spotting and terrific capture.
