"bicho-pau" about 10 cm brownish body like a stick, small yellow eyes, red parts in his paws long antennae

Moved him from a wall to a blackthorn (abrunheiro) which he immediately started to eat, he was still there some hours later pretending to be a part of the plant :). This was at my friend Pedro Nicolau's house (project noah member)
