My mom sent me this photo she took on the west side of Bend, Oregon at their home which is a pretty high elevation, around 3,000 ft. Is it even a bug? She said she went to remove it and it was slimey (you can see sort of a spittle trail coming off the back in the image) and the body was flexible/bendy unlike an actual dry twig would be. I would love to know this sub’s thoughts!
