This is the biggest stick insect I've ever seen. It was inside a piece of shade cloth I had over my boat. It didn't seem too worried about being handled. wiley.

Some are quite long, longest I've seen was 150mm approximately. I haven't seen any around home for about 10 years or more :/ come to think of it definitely prior to Black Saturday.

You might need to bring home an egg nest or two in your travels over time, otherwise it may take a long time for them to work their way back in from the fire fringes.
