Click on a small photo to see a big one!
This is "Buggles", an Australian Walking Stick. Buggles dines on the leaves of thorny plants, such as blackberry leaves. Buggles laid several hundred eggs, many of which have hatched! Buggles was named after the 80s rock group of the same name, most famous for the song "Video Killed the Radio Star". Unfortunately, Buggles has since passed on to the big garden in the sky. In honor of Buggles, all of her offspring are also named "Buggles"...
These are some of the eggs. They are a bit smaller than the average green pea.
Here are some baby Buggles, less than a day old!
Some offspring hang out by the pool
They're not dead, I just haven't put away all the Halloween decorations!
Buggles is under attack! Oh no!
Here's one coming out of its skin! The lighter colored bug at the top is just empty skin. The end of the bug's tail is still in it.
Here are some more miscellaneous "bug shots"
Check out the Phasmid Study Group, a stick bug club in England
