A Brown Stick Insect

Very soon we headed into the Taban Loop and I immediately spotted this camouflaged stick insect on a bush beside. I softly told my friend 'Stick Insect' and he called out, 'Where!? Where!?' Well thats because he had never seen one before.

It was now my 5th time shooting a stick insect. I had seen one long ago in the summit, but it was small and green. It only stayed for a few minutes before flying away. This one was big and brown. The other three were spotted in India in a day.

Photographing this stick insect was extremely difficult, especially when I had no choice but to use manual focus. I kept trying to focus on the head but most of the time I fail. Eventually I made it with these shots here.

I placed it back under the leaves and left then.

Stick Insects generally are rare in the wild. You are lucky to spot one thats this big. Well done with the neat photographs.
