Summer in the South NEXT | START OVER | PREVIOUS Some variety of Walking Stick on a leaf of Pink Porterweed, Stachytarpheta mutabilis. It looks for all the world like a twig. One of the front legs, which was also very twiggy, seemed to be pointing out a direction as the creature seemed to be frozen in place. "Have you seen any butterflies, Mr. Stick." "Sure have, Sonny! They went thataway and thataway and thataway!" Submit a picture. Copyright © 2004 Consolidated Publishing Co.
