Those are so cool! My oldest keep some as pets because her husband's got allergies. They're brown ones. I sit and watch them for ages when I visit.

My daughter used to keep stick insects when she was younger. It's fascinating trying to find them in amongst privet foliage!!

Those are so cool...I love them. When we had the woods in our backyard at the last house, they were always climbing around on things. Ours are a little browner.

I have not seen any of those in a long time. Them along with the praying mantis are my favorite insects.
