OUR LUNCHTIME VISITOR




at the visitor we had to our room today!
It was on the verandah ceiling outside our classroom.
We watched as it crept slowly along...one step, stop, sway....another step, stop, sway.
We wondered how it could walk upsidedown and not fall.

We straight way thought it was a STICK INSECT.

But is it?

Both of these insects are common to Brisbane. Both look like sticks.

THIS ONE IS A STICK INSECT.




THIS ONE IS A PRAYING MANTID.

Which one is our friend most like?

WE'RE NOT SURE. PLEASE HELP US DECIDE!

I think the visitor we had is a praying mantis because it has a bigger body than the stick insect.
I remember seeing one in my garden.
