Walkingstick
(Order Orthoptera Family Phasmatidae)
This brown or green, wingless insect has received its name for its resemblance to a twig. With its long, slender
body and extended antennae the walkingstick is well camouflaged in trees and shrubs. This plant
eater can reach lengths greater then 6 inches. This photograph, taken in Mt. Kinabalu, Borneo, features
a red legged walkingstick. MORE!
