Yes, I loved the false face in the other one. Very cool.
Thanks, @venusflytrap2000, that is why they are commonly called Stick Insects. This was was much easier to spot at night since they come out and hang around on top of leafs. It is very difficult to find them during day time!
wow, you could've fooled me ;) they look like sticks!
Thanks, @Lauren. They are, the female, if you take a picture from the top, you will see a false face as in this spotting : http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/196306028 the picture in this other spotting is of different specie, but same family. I didn't disturb the pair to take that shot this time :D
