Nothing spectacular but its my favorite bug to find....when youre lucky enough to find one

 

[dtknow]

Wow! I didn't know we had stick insects here. What was it found on? Also, do these range up North in CA(I'm down in the Central Valley).

 

[JungleGuts]

i dont know about CA but we have them over here in IL, i usually see 1 or 2 a year

well i actually found it on my wall which made it extremely obvious.......i just put it on the plant for dramatic effect. as far as what they feed on naturally, beats the hell out of me but im sure you could feed it bramble, rose, etc...
