Yup........he does indeed look like a stick
The biggest Stick Insect I ever saw was in jungle of Borneo and it was easily 10 inches long.

They are such odd looking critters ..... thanks for sharing.

Is that a night shot? Otherwise it looks like Mr. Stick is about to be a tasty snack for something. :eat His camoflage is all wrong!

Cool shot, though! I've always liked stick insects.

Night shot, but near my porch light. Still, I had to shoot close, using ISO 200, 1/4000-sec, and a wad of toilet paper neatly folded up over my speedlight to diffuse the flash--I was shooting from 3 inches away.

You have an unusual diet, there!

This one was maybe 3 inches--and growing. What we have that are 10 inches long around here are the centipedes!

I've never seen anything like that in person. So many creatures in this world that I've never even seen yet.
God sure does love variety.
