Another BIG Texas Bug Walkin Stick

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Found tons of these this year found one yesterday at work that was about 3" longer and twice as thick. This female was about 9".
Its funny the males are about 4-6" about the size of a ballpoint pen.

Think that big bastard was sent over by the Mexican Cartels to eat all the fine citizens of the Republic of Texas...put a boot on that thing if it starts cussing you in Spanglish and trying to sell you coke!

Hug your daughters, or someone else will.

I've been noticing a variety of that insect, or something very similar here in Louisiana all my life. So if these crossed over from Mexico, it could have been at any time in the past... before or after some of my ancestors crossed several generations back.
