Re: A couple of insects
OK...OK...this looks like a rosemary bush but where are insects you wanted to show? Don't tell me "they are hidden from view" that is why I can't see it...

Re: A couple of insects
As a brain teaser, I really like the first one. Took me a couple of seconds. Don't see them like that over in WA.

Re: A couple of insects
Thanks everyone for looking and commenting.
Izzie, it is not actually rosemary but some small shrub that my wife has in a pot in front of the house.
This view includes the whole stick insect. The two front legs and the feelers point forward.

Re: A couple of insects
It is really amazing what you have done using photoshop on an uninteresting twig....
Camouflage at its finest. Well done and seen.

Re: A couple of insects
Just a guess, but could the second insect be one of the very large Ichneumon Wasp family?
But some Sawflies are quite similar.

I don't really know but the vies look different to either of these to me. Originally Posted by Geoff F

Binnur, I have been familiar with these stick insects as long as I can remember so they don't look so strange to me. They are quite harmless but feel uncomfortable when they hang on with their sticky feet.
