I did some more searching on these on Bugguide and found some interesting species. One of the belongs to the genius Barce sp. See below:

Picture ( gravid female ): http://bugguide.net/node/view/142465
Empicoris sp.: http://bugguide.net/node/view/89312
Images of different species: http://bugguide.net/node/view/213/bgimage

Has any one noticed how they hold their front legs? Like a praying mantis. Mr. Green Any one know why that is? And do they hunt like them and then suck out the body fluids using their rostrum?

Just curious. When I came across one I though it was a walking stick at first but a closer look told me other wise. I love them though interesting little things.
