The pretty pattern you see here is just a cryptic juvenile colouring to help it hide in the mottled shadows of a tree - the adult male is glossy black all over. The juvenile does look conspicuous on a driveway though, i'll give you that! The Stick Insect was about 20cm long but they can get even bigger!Christian Perrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835955663432829705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889401180961072004.post-17961041725496033092014-02-01T01:56:55.327+10:002014-02-01T01:56:55.327+10:00A very informative read Chirstian.

It's interesting that thestill being fed juvenile Koel has so many adult feather already but being ighly conspicuous otherwise it makes good sense to become unobtrusive? The stick insect does indeed look goliath and I'm wondering how big they grow? <br /><br />A nice post.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889401180961072004.post-37872572247528617082014-01-31T21:59:55.556+10:002014-01-31T21:59:55.556+10:00Thanks Ramakrishnan!

You'll be amused to know the other name for the Freckled Duck is 'Monkey Duck', because it climbs up to its nest through river branches instead of flying.Christian Perrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835955663432829705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889401180961072004.post-62454736640714280882014-01-30T09:49:15.134+10:002014-01-30T09:49:15.134+10:00Thanks Gordon!
