Ìt looked like it had 4 legs but maybe there were two at the front that looked like feelers almost fused.

9 cm from top head to rear end as in the photo it extends for about the length of the handle on trailer flap to the bend. Not counting when it's front legs were extending forwards. So quite large cf ordinary stick insects.
