My daughter has got the Stick Insects for the weekend from her pre-school class. It's pretty obvious they are from a school, loads of them have missing legs and broken feelers. Ignoring these, I have taken a few shots of the healthiest ones! These are all 100% size crops from the original, so please view the large size for the full 'Star Wars' effect.
There are also some eggs and very small insects at the top of the photo, I think they are also stick Insects.

The bush is bushy and desperately in need of a trim, but my friend on the farm doesn't have the heart to do it. Why? These fascinating insects love the bush, and they are so well camouflaged that my friend is fearful she'll harm countless of them if she trims the bush. I'd let it grow and grow and grow, too!
More photos of these fascinating insects in the comments, all clickable, of course.
