Description
can't a couple of stick bugs have some privacy.The Phasmatodea (sometimes called Phasmida) are an order of insects, whose members are variously known as stick insects (in Europe and Australasia), walking sticks or stick-bugs (in the United States and Canada), phasmids, ghost insects and leaf insects.Phasmids are herbivorous, feeding mostly on the leaves of trees and shrubs. The females, which are usually significantly larger than the males, lay their eggs individually, either sticking them to vegetation or simply depositing them on the ground. A single female may lay from 100 to 1,200 eggs after mating, depending on species. The eggs are typically camouflaged, resembling plant seeds, and may remain dormant for a full season or more before hatching. The nymphs are born already closely resembling the adults.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is some serious close up work Richard! Just as well you don't get hay fever! lol I would like a tripod for such a shot, but I bet you can stop your heart going to achieve the stillness required for such a shot! lol Steve :o)

Wonderful shot of these stick insects Richard I remember when I was young my dad had a big tall hedge that had these stick insects in it.. They were fun to play with :-)..

Amazing capture Richard. I seriously doubt i would have noticed them there if i had seen them. Even knowing they are there, I have to look real close to not just see a few twigs. Thier natural camoflage is ideal. Great shot.

Great capture of these walking sticks! We have some in a "aquarium" at home in my childhood, they breed well - but one day they break out of their "home" and a morning, a loud scream from one of my sisters when she saw the "stick" walking on the edge of her coffee cup! Have a nice Monday! ;o)

They are so alien-looking it's almost hard to believe they are alive--and I never noticed how many colors they had on them! Great shot!

Super capture of very curious insects.Your macros never cease to amaze me. I have been a long time fan of macro-photography.My dad was a photographer back in its early days and introduced me to macro work as it emerged, but never achieved anything on your level of skill. Excellence, Richard!!!!!
