I accidentally found a strange insect. I was just trying to take picture of that insect, but it has flew away before I managed to pick my phone from my pocket. It was around 1.5 inches(4cm) in length and it has legs at the both ends of his body. also it has wings but wings are not visible when it was walking on the wall. I am attaching a drawing of how it was looking. Does anyone know what is this insect?

if anyone can identify that, I'd be able to learn a lot from them.
Your location is important.
Many insects keep their wings safely undercover until they're ready to go.
So many insects fit that description, from water scorpions to stick insects, mantids..

I concur. An unusual sight for someone unfamiliar for sure.
I was always getting unfathomable descriptions from Dad of bugs he'd seen fishing,
or at work.
