This Stick insect is of the family phasmatidae.As its name suggests, the stick insect resembles the twigs among which it lives, providing it with one of the most efficient natural camouflages on Earth. Stick insects eat plants.. They are Nocturnal.

Two walking-stick insects mating in a garden in McDonald's Corners, Ontario Canada. The small brown one is the male and the much larger green one is the female.

Haven't had a chance yet to learn which species this is, but it sure is pretty. Found him near the lotus pond.

Watched this insect drag this other insect/spider across the patio and into its burrow.

Some insect on a leaf

This massive hornet has been living in my shed for about a month now. It's about 4 cms and has a very loud buzz. I've never seen one this huge. It goes in and out via a hole in the door. It seems to be totally on it's own. Not sure whether it's getting ready to lay eggs or just taken up residence.

Taken in Madeira.
