A woman noticed a strange looking stick on her porch. When she examined it, it turned out to be alive. It is a very well disguised caterpillar.
It is probably the larva of an Oak Beauty Moth.

I think she is right about what it is.

I would love to see something like this. It really does look like a stick.
I am going to have to look at sticks more closely. You never know when it might turn out to be more than a stick.
Nature is amazing.
