Colorado Short-horned Walkingstick - Parabacillus coloradus

Colorado Short-horned Walkingstick - Parabacillus coloradus
Lewis & Clark Boy Scout Camp, Yankton County, South Dakota, USA
September 12, 2004
Size: 5.5cm
Found this guy resting by a light outside of a lodge. One of the short-horned walkingsticks, and since there is only one described in South Dakota, this would be Parabacillus coloradus, the Colorado Short-horned Walkingstick. Figured we might want an image for the guide.
