Nice.I used to see them all the time in my yard when i lived in Texas plus a host of other interesting critters.View attachment 385104
saw something move out of the corner of my eye, and it was this friendly Phasmid that aparantly was down for a cruise and vacation to my apartment. Nature is amazing leaving your windows down In Texas is always a gamble lol
Quite stunning!!Stunning! I've never actually seen a stick bug in person before.
That’s a shame you’ve only seen them once! Phasmatodea may be by favorite hexapod order. I have seen about 10in in the last week!I’ve only seen a walking stick in the wild once, a very large one on a fence.
Clearly they prefer the tundraNow the question is, do Phasmids prefer the Tundra or Sequoia?
northern walkingsticks (Diapheromera femorata) are found throughout michigan, they can be tough to find though. If you search at night with a light through foliage of certain trees like oak and birch in late summer you might be able to turn some up (that's how I find them here in MA)Count me jealous! I live in Michigan, so I doubt they come this far north
Thanks! I'll see if I can find one later this summer.northern walkingsticks (Diapheromera femorata) are found throughout michigan, they can be tough to find though.
