Is this an insect that is commonly known (ie, not exotic)?

Is it an insect that is commonly known?
Those who hike near ponds or streams see them all the time. (#17)

Here's the rundown:
Not an ant
Not a spider
It is an insect
Most of their species don't have wings
Not a walking stick
Not an earwig
Not a grasshopper or a praying mantis
It does not have spots
It's not a beetle
It isn't a larval form of something
It is usually 1/2" to 1 1/2"
It does not live IN water

Thanks Marian!

Phew! Not at all what I have imagined, thankfully. (But still gross. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Could it be a Water Strider (AKA Pond Skater)? I'm not sure how it fits in size-wise, but it doesn't live in the water and only some of its species have wings.

I agree, it sure was tricky! I personally never even heard of a water strider. Never saw one, either <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Anyhow, don't count on Leequi making it any easier <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> . I sure hope she doesn't pick one of those *exotics* from the list in our other game, !! eek <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
