Giant walkingstick (female)

In addition to its great size, both sexes of this species can be distinguished from other walkingsticks by the rows of numerous teeth on the underside of the middle (meso-) femur and by the very long antennae (longer than the front femur). Both sexes have femoral spines on their mid and hind legs, but males have a large, single spine on each leg. (information from BugGuide)<br><br>
