Stick Monster

We've had plenty of odd creatures around our Wimberley home this year (no, not referring to any of our humanoid visitors). In my book none of them are any cooler than the oddly elegant Walking Stick. With a top speed not much faster than a snail, these guys are especially fun to show to kids old enough not to hurt them. I've seen at least three different types of Walking Sticks at Wimberley, and Wiki says there are more than 3000 species and even has a video at www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasmatodea
