Stick insect


Yesterday, Carlos found a huge stick insect (or walking stick bug) right outside the lab building -- this was the biggest stick insect I had ever seen! I think it was approximately 25 cm long -- huge! It actually scared some girls that walked by when we were petting it. Stick insects eat leaves and don't bite (I think). Apparently they can also make nice pets.
