This stick insect is careful not to leave its molt behind. Instead it sensibly treats it as a succulent supper. Perhaps we can learn something from it.

What a neat insect, Mike! I looks very much like a stick. Eating its old exoskeleton makes it look even more like a twig.
Hi Mike,
Interesting to see a shot taken with a D90 which was a go to dslr in its hey day! I would reduce the saturation of the greens and to the yellows to tame down the BG. Subject is nice and sharp and like the natural history portrayed in the photo…Jim
A fascinating insect and a fascinating scene. I always find old photos very interesting, too.
Mike: Really good eye to even see this and getting such a good capture to boot. Top notch in every way. >=))>
