Close-up of Walking Stick Insect 

bukaymedia.com/ Here are some video and close up images of the Walking Stick Insect I photographed in Pt. Richmond, California. It was about 5" long. Walking Stick insects are fairly common in our neighborhood but hard to see due to their camouflage. They remind some people of Praying Mantises; however, unlike the former, Walking Sticks are herbivores.
