My goodness!! I am glad I don't have too!! This is the Stick Water Scorpion. They are found in standing pools of water and are quite large 4-5 inches in body length and then an extra 6 inches of tail which is raised to the surface of the water and is used as a breathing siphon.
(Afreumenes aethiopicus) The females build one-celled spherical mud pots resembling urns, with a lip around the entrance, attached to rock faces, buildings or trees. After completion and sealing, no mor mud is applied and the lip left intact.
