Stick Insect (Phasmid) Videos

I went for a hike at the Lusscroft Farm trail in Sussex New Jersey. As I was ambling down the path I stumbled upon this stick bug. I have seen stick insects many times, but I always thought they were limited to tropical habitats. Apparently they have evolved in the temperate regions of the planet as well.

Here is a video of a Titan Stick Insect we had in our yard.
I am moving her from the house to a tree where she started nibbling on leaves.
