Meet Hockey....the Stick insect

Check out the GIANT stick insect Marilla found near home.

By the way, she informs me the stick insect's name is HOCKEY!!!

Love it!

Stick insects are one of the great hide and seekers...they camouflage themselves to stay safe. Check out these other animals that do the same.

Thanks for sharing, Marilla. Any other children who wish to share something with the other kids, please see Mr Madden.
