Megaphasma denticrus
This walking stick was crawling around by our back door today. It is about 3 1/2" long. It had blue-green forelimbs and joints with the bright red stripe on top and bottom. On the inside of each knee is a claw-like projection. This is a male.
Thank you Aaron G. I followed your link & updated my listing. We will be watching to see if we see any females.
It's been years since I saw one of this here at home (México) thanks for letting me know they're still out there living life. Your picture is beautiful. Thanks.
I'm glad you mentioned the leg spines and showed them in your second photo. That helped immensely with the ID. :-)
