This is a stick grasshopper, about 5 inches in body length, but he is so well camoflaged, you could easily miss him.

Thanks once again for a lovely comment Irwin.

For some reason I seem to find things like camoflage and adaption of insects fascinating, and am pleased to find that it is enjoyed by others. But then, I find most things to do with all aspects of nature fascinating even the stuff posted in the microscope section.It seems to be a fine line when taking pictures of camoflaged bugs.
Thanks once again for a lovely comment Irwin.

I know what you meant Joan.
They are so confindent in their camouflage and looking a bit lazy but if you disturb them too much they can fly very well. Excellent fliers! (If you wake up them from lethargy.)

The meaning of beauty is in sharing with others.
P.S.
Noticing of my "a" and "the" and other grammar
errors are welcome.
