Stick Insects at Chadron State Park, July 2020

Before this summer, I hadn't come across stick insects outside of museums. Perhaps they've passed over my shoes on previous occasions when I've been crouched in odd positions trying to photograph flowers against rock faces. These little fellows look awkward and beautiful. It's great to see them up close, and a reminder to carry that 105mm closeup lens more often.
