did you forget your walking stick, sir?

Um, no:
I think you have me confused with someone else.

Or something thing else.

I am a stick insect, more commonly called a walking stick.

I am of the order of “the Phasmatodea (sometimes called Phasmida) are an order of insects,
whose members are variously known as

stick insects (in Europe and Australasia),
walking sticks

or

stick-bugs (in the United States and Canada),
phasmids,

ghost insects

and

leaf insects (generally the family Phylliidae).”

[via wikipedia.]

I live in South America, as many other varieties of the family I belong to live too.

[but you already knew that, didn't you, Ra'chel, since you found me on your bedroom wall????]

[Yes, I did...]

well, go look up about me and my family of walking sticks,

and have a fun nature lesson while you’re at it.

for now, I’m gonna go crawl around the walls in Ra’chel’s bedroom,

scaring her that I might drop on her when she is asleep!

I may be small, but mind over might…

HAHAHAHAHA!

[note: i am not an evil walking stick; I like to tease people.]

hope you enjoyed meeting Frankie; he’s a great pal.

as ever,
-Ra’chel

    Yep, I’m in Australia and I can confirm we call them stick insects. I love these guys, they are normally so gentle and placid and very nice to have around.
