Appledore walking-stick - Diapheromera femorata Appledore Island in the Isles of Shoals, Maine, USA
August 23, 2007
Size: 3 inches
Same stick insect, but a much, MUCH better head shot of the guy (gal?).
Note the bright green forelegs & the body segments mimic those found on plants. This is one of my favorite photographs from that island.
It was released back outside in some bushes not far from the building soon after these photos were taken (one of my class mates nearly killed the poor thing!).
Images of this individual: tag all
