Tipulidae Stick Insect

Tipulidae

Description:

Dried grass bead-like, grey, motionless, spotted on the outside corner of the building, between the wall and the piller. Went looking for such things, actually! Length, about: 20mm; height, about: 15mm.

Notes:

Spotted this strange arthropod, never seen before. It wasn't an easy spotting - one has to go looking for stange bugs. I was lucky to spot this.

Thanks Mark. Thanks for the link. Vijay Anand's flickr photos seem to be the nearest.

Anyone for any comment on this one? It's a difficult spotting.
