Walkingstick


What is more fun then a lively song to enjoy the best of nature.
If you have not seen a Walkingstick (a Northern Walkingstick in New England) you must read about them and hope you spot one while hiding on a branch. This website is a good place to start.

Do You Know?
A Walkingstick can regrow a leg but it will be shorter then his other ones. Look at the picture. Do you think this Walkingstick has a new leg?

If a Walkingstick loses an antennae, it grows a leg in its place.

My son and I just found one of these the other day. I think ours was an Indian Walking Stick. Not 100% sure though. How did you positively identify yours? They are fascinating to watch. He didn't know what to make of it. Enjoying your blog.
