It's a Possibility, new animal species are discovered every year.

Oh...So this is some kind of sub-species? I looked for it with google & I couldnt find a match. Maybe I discovered a new one? Lol ;o)

Young praying mantis from some species even look like ants.

I had Praying Mantis babies hatch in my bedroom & they did not look like this. The abdomen was shorter & thicker. The whole organism was thicker. These legs were fine as hair....Im not convinced yet, though I did change the name from "stick bug"
