BRYCE'S PET


Now that you know the CLUE to telling the difference between a STICK INSECT and a PRAYING MANTIS is to look at the 'front legs', have a look at BRYCE'S PET.


It lives in a tree in his yard.
Can you see it?
It's really well camouflauged!





Look closely at it's 'FRONT LEGS'.
Look again at the pictures of STICK INSECTS and PRAYING MANTIDS.
WHAT IS IT?
LEAVE US A COMMENT.
DON'T FORGET TO GIVE US A REASON FOR YOUR ANSWER.

I think Bryce's insect is a stick insect because it had spiny legs all about the same length.

Bryce's insect was found in a pine tree which is where stick insects like to live. That's why I think Bryce's insect is a stick insect.

I think it is a stick insect because it is skinny and looks like a stick and it is also brown.
