Phasmatoidea
The adult walkingstick is about 3 inches long, and the female is much larger than the male. They are wingless and very slender in body build, with long and very thin antennae. Walkingsticks may be any color ranging from brown to green to greenish tan, as well as some which are multicolored and included shades of tan, green, and red. They are shaped much like a twig, and in many cases while hunting will remain completely without motion, and are camouflaged very well on the trees in which they live.
