Australian Walking Stick

Australian Walking Stick

Posted by Wesley Fleming on 1/3/2008
 Featured by Micah Evans
Females can be 8 inches long and are covered with short spines. Instinctively, they mimic scorpions - walking with their tales curved up and over as they walk.
The claws consist of 2 hooks and a suction cup between them allowing them to climb on almost any surface. In their natural habitat they feed on eucalyptus.

Extatosoma tiaratum (aka Australian Walking Stick or Macleay's Spectre)
2008, Effetre glass made on a GTT Lynx, measures 5" x 4" x 1.5"
