    Those are so cool! :D My oldest keep some as pets because her husband's got allergies. They're brown ones. I sit and watch them for ages when I visit.

    Those are so cool...I love them. When we had the woods in our backyard at the last house, they were always climbing around on things. Ours are a little browner.

    I have not seen any of those in a long time. Them along with the praying mantis are my favorite insects.
