“Walking Stick Insect.”

The “walking stick insect” of Brazil is one which has attracted a good deal of notice among students of natural history.

It is very difficult to obtain, however, because it so nearly resembles the twig of a tree in appearance that one could easily pass hundreds of them and never know it. It is about eighteen Inches long.
