Walkingstick - Parabacillus coloradus

Walkingstick - Parabacillus coloradus
Peyton, El Paso County, Colorado, USA
July 23, 2007
Size: ~60 mm without legs
Very interesting find for me. I only saw it because it moved. It changed from the brown color in the picture to having a very light tint of green on brown.

The only species listed for CO that I found is coloradus, so that's where I'm putting it. It this is disputed feel free to move it.

I think this may be...
Parabacillus, but confirmation would be nice.

Confirmed.
Yes, it is a Parabacilus, probably P. hesperus.

Anthony,

Similar to shape and size but not coloration to something I found recently in Louisiana (also posted to ID Request):
