Last night, I was feeling miserable, so I finally broke down and took an allergy pill. My mistake was it was right before bed & I'm sensitive to any type of OTC pills. So I paid for it!! - All night, it felt like I had the marathon long dream about a Stick Bug invasion.
In my dream, I was walking thru my garden to the house, and I spotted some stick bugs (babies) which is not a big deal. But then I spotted some medium size ones of different shades of green and brown on my light post, and then even bigger ones on my stoop railing.
I went inside, and HUGE 3 ft. long stick bugs were in my house, on the sides of walls, pictures, chairs and they were all making a clicking sound.
I ran around the house trying to figure out how many there were and how they could of possibly reproduced so quickly. I was desperately looking for gloves, and couldn't find any. I wanted to remove them, although I was unsure how to get rid of the GIANT ones that were everywhere.
I woke up in a cold sweat.
If you haven't seen what a stick bug looks like, here is a link. We really do have Indian Stickbugs in our yard,and they are considered a major pest/threat to our area.
