Looks similar and might be, but the "spines" are not so pronounced in Karen's as it is in Bispinosa: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16760008

Pls check... This one was taken from Ecuador: Amazonian Stick Insect (Pseudophasma bispinosa) - http://www.flickr.com/photos/bigal_river_conservation_project_ecuador/3192443431/.

I think D. femorata is a North American species?

Thanks Adarsha! I agree, but I'm hoping to get a species if I can. I'm guessing this is a female.
