Field Notes

Description:

Sorry pic quality is so bad. It blended really well with the table and was fast!
Edit: I thought it might be a stick bug (because it looked like a small twig, lol), but Forest Dragon suggested Three Legged bug, Emesaya brevipennis. I'm going with his recommendation. Thanks!!!

Habitat:

East Alabama rural homestead

Even though the images aren't great, I can see enough of this insect to tell you that this is not a walkingstick, but a Thread-legged Bug. It is possibly Emesaya brevipennis. They are really neat! Compare here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/86407
