Female Creosote Bush Stick - Diapheromera covilleae - female

Female Creosote Bush Stick - Diapheromera covilleae - Female
Vekol Valley, Sonoran Desert National Monument, Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
August 16, 2008
Notice that the female is colored gray, the color of creosote bush twigs her size, whereas the male has a browner coloration, the color of twigs of his diameter! An adult male was standing by about 50 cm away with constantly waving antennae - presumably sampling air for pheromones, but did not approach or move away for more than 2 hours of observation.
