The boys brought over a little northern walking stick (Diapheromera femorata) they had found in their yard.
Considering the years I had spent at the Lyman museum caring for their stick insects, I knew just what to do. An enclosure was quickly set up with paper towels, a few branches, a vial of water with a hole in the cap to place oak leaves, and a little water dish.He/she has already eaten a few big chunks out of an oak leaf. I'm definitely keeping this little guy for a while.

Hehe, I've thought about it! Maybe during the summers once I start grad school? I'm doing a nature presentation for a birthday party today, actually.
> Sticky the stick insect... real original, eh? Anyone want to come up with a better name?
Fatboy Slim? Woody if it's a boy, Twiggy if it's a girl? Link? Stilts? Twick? Buddy? Art, short for Articulated? Stiffanie? Sticholas? Stemantha? Fetch?
Of course! Oakley! Did I guess? Or Oksana.
If you like "A Bug's Life": Slim, Niles, Crane, David, Hyde, or Pierce.
At first I thought that it was a stick you have to check it out through it to know that it is an insect.
