How about this one?

This little green critter road home with me on my side car mirror from work. His reward for making it all the way to my place and not falling off was having his photo taken and featured on sydneynature. What kind of bug is it?





I used my off-camera flash to light him up. I have images of him large enough to print in A3 size, I think.

Here's a grasshopper:

Couldn't tell you the species or anything, but the first one is some kind of stick insect. How big was it? Because it's a sub adult, one more shed of its skin until its fully grown.

I would say it was about 8 or 9cm.

I was also wondering if it was a stick bug -- thanks for confirming that!!

[enigmatic-gnome]

Ah, just a smallish one then... i was just trying to work out if it was a goliath stick insect or not. Its not I dont think (dont quote me on that)

Wow, I just looked that one up and those are very cool! No, it wasn't that big!!!
