Photo-a-day retirement

Green stick insect

He's got a problem in that I think part of two front legs is missing.  However they have amazing powers of regeneration and more legs will grow. I've only seen one green one, but this morning we saw a baby brown one doing the swaying they do to look like a twig - he was like a pin size with even more pin like legs. The females drop their eggs in the leaf litter and the young ones climb into the foliage. The females don't need males to have eggs which is called parthenogenesis.

A couple of extras too.
