I was able to catch one of my Giant Walking Sticks molting the other day! I set up my tripod and phone to record as soon as I noticed him positioning himself to molt. Isn’t he handsome? ✨

Image and video of our newest friend, Dead Baby Horse (or Saoirse, when my coworkers ask what her name is)

She is a lichen coloration prickly leaf/stick insect, and one day she will clone herself and produce beautiful lesbian babies.

I finally framed my beloved stick bugs. I put it off for years because I was scared to get it wrong but I'm happy I finally did it. It's nice to see them again :)

Their names are Ginger, Spike, Danny Phasmid, Frog, and Bulbasaur.

It's a fasciated phasmid! Gosh, I really love fasciation. In hindsight, I kinda wish I had done a whole month of fasciated plant creatures.
