The long-headed toothpick grasshopper (Achurum carinatum) lives and feeds among tall grass in the southeast US.

They’re flightless and not very fast or agile by grasshopper standards, but like a stick insect their camouflage seems to make up for it!

In Florida, they breed year-round and are abundant in this prairie habitat in January when few other insects are active.

Not a stick bug!!! I mean, it is a bug that looks like a stick, but it's not a stick insect as most people know them in the order Phasmida. This is a neotropical stick grasshopper in the family Proscopiidae. What a man :)
