Um...this was meant to be a CELEBRATION of the NOBLE WALKING STICK! Not a parade of freaks in a sick display of one upsmanship.
Thanks, guys. I am now going to retire from the net for a few hours and cry. The world is so cruel. SO CRUEL! |

You actually found a walking stick?

We have them here in the southeast. I remember being fascinated and somewhat repulsed by them as a youngster. My grandmother called them the "devil's stick-horse" - Anything unwholesome was associated with the devil. Puffballs, a type of fungi, the insides of which turn into a brown powder when they are old and dried out, were called the "devil's snuff-box."

Interesting article about this tiny population of stick insects on Lord Howe Island have totally brought an entire species back from the brink of extinction:

I got interested and had to go read a bit. The order name is, appropriately, "ghosts" or "winged ghosts"(phasmatodea, phasmida, phasmatoptera) Personally never saw any with wings, in Kansas. Has it's own website, lots of porn here http://www.phasmatodea.com/web/guest...311AA9BE78F919 A southeast asian breed I've seen them, in NE Kansas, at 3/4 that size or a little bigger. Read that Florida and Georgia have a fat stripey breed that can spray acid at you.

Those used to terrify me when I was a child.
Like a horror movie, the sticks come to a life of their own and start walking around! I also had my older brother stirring my terror with stories of them being deadly poisonous

We see them quite a bit here in southern part of Missouri. They get on the screens a lot for some reason. It's the only time I can ever spot them.
