Displaying one of the best examples of the art of camouflage, the Stick Insect, known as nanafushi in Japanese, are usually difficult to spot.
However, when they are crawling up your door they are much easier to see.
There are 18 species of Stick Insect in Japan, and I have no idea which one this is.

ReplyDeleteThey may have a powerful bite or sting. Do you know?
ReplyDeleteas far as I know they are completely harmless
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I've never seen one that so completely resembled a stick!
