Are you sure it is a bug?

The other day I walked out on the terrace and my eye caught something above the doorway. For a slight instant I was certain it was a twig but then I thought that there was no way it could just be on there sideways. As I took a closer look I realized it was a stick bug. Well it is the biggest one I have ever seen, but then again, everything is always larger here they say. Personally I would say it measured at least 8 inches maybe a bit larger. I add it to my blog because it just amazes me at how big "bugs" are here. I am keeping a lookout on a few others so I can catch them and take photos to post.
