Peruphasma schultei

My Ramulus artemis named Artemis, from about a year ago. I had six adult sticks at one point so yeah, I marked them after the fifth molt.

Just an update on things. I've currently been staying in London England for 3 months! (I'm originally from Canada) Got here on May 3rd and I'm loving it! Went to the Phasmid Study Group meeting on July 6th and it was downright AWESOME! I already had some Haaniella dehaani with me back at my flat but when they were offering some lovely live Peruphasma schultei to take home how could I resist!? These guys are seriously the cutest Phasmids ever! Their goofy yellow beady eyes make them so cartoon-like! Speaking of cartoons, I did a caricature of them! One of the mating female Peruphasma was for some reason scratching her head (or grooming) like a dog. So I decided to do a drawing of what I witnessed in a more "colourful" and exaggerated fashion. ;)

My significant other with a spiny stick insect (Extatasoma tiaratum), belonging to an older friend of mine who works as a free lance educator with her various exotic animals.

What's really amazing is how the darkened edges of the legs make them look photoshopped from certain angles, here's a closeup:

Photo not altered at all! Parts of them really do look poorly superimposed.
