Agathemera sp. (Phasmidae)
Irritant chemical sprays can also have a dramatically distressing effect upon the recipient, to which the author can amply testify.

Stick Insect
A twig with legs is the best camouflaged insect. It has six legs and a long body. Some have spines on them - they also have antenas. The stick insect breathes through its thorax and abdomen. To cool them off on hot days they will leave their heads under water.

Walkingsticks
What appears to be
wood walks! What was

While this camouflage
allows the walking-

during the day and

tricks many birds

This young walkingstick caught my eye. As they mature, they turn brown. Did you know that walkingsticks can regrow lost legs? How about that their eggs may not hatch for two years, which can cause population swings from one year to the next?
