A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Large Stick insect approximately 30-40cm long, pale tan colour, small wings or membranes on back (approximately 5cm long).
Stick Insect on my front door. I have seen them before on the South Coast of NSW. Not sure if it's a Titan Stick Insect (Acrophylla titan) or a Margin-winged Stick insect (Ctenomorpha marginipennis). By the tail parts I would assume it's the later, although it's size is at least 30cm long, and apparently only Titans get this big.
