Excellent find + in an unexpected part of the country. There are several naturalised populations of phasmids (stick-insects) which are mostly in the south-west from Devon to the Isles of Scilly.
Malcolm Lee collates records for this group so please forward this photo with details to him at: gullrock@ukonline.co.uk |

That's an unusual fnd fom your area. The Phasmid Study Group has a list of species and images on their site. I have kept a number of species over the years, but don't recogise this one. Somewhere I have Paul Brock's book of Phasmids from Europe....will try to find it!

Carausius morosus, i had an idea where it came from, because i had some early in the year, which i gave away, and i think the droppings i placed in the compost bin must have contained some eggs  ... |

Not a species that has fully naturalised to the best of my knowledge. |

He he! I was looking for something more complicated! It's very easy to accidentally throw eggs away! The only way to stop them hatching in the wrong environment is to freeze the eggs!
