A stealthy ambush predictor - for the bugs. A gardener's best friend. The only insect that can turn its head 180°.

They’re fine outside. I wasn’t happy to find one in the bathroom when in New Zealand!

That's understandable but better than the giant wasp I found in my hotel room. I ran like a little girl. lol!

They remind me of stick insects my son had a glass aquarium full of them when he was a little boy he left the lid open ,they escaped ,we had stick insects everywhere ..

wow, that sounds like 'fun'. I've never seen a stick insect. He's a lucky chap.
Thanks Kate. I'm always thrilled to see them in my garden.

Super shot. He looks quite a character. I'd be out there letting him crawl on to my hand.
