holyoutlawHerewith three pictures of a friend's stick bugs, with links to articles about each.
Aretaon asperrimus
Believe it or not, there are no general interest articles about this insect. There are technical articles about its walk, lots of pictures and hobbyist pages, but not even anything on Wikipedia! That's hard to believe.
The female carries the male on her back.
A. asperrimus eating
This had to be shot at a relatively rapid shutter speed to avoid motion blur. Thus the shallow depth of field.
Sipyloidea sipylus eye
