Sydney the Stick Insect

For the last few days we have had a lodger at our house, Sydney the stick insect mostly sits on the outside of our screen door and watches the world go by. He is the biggest stick insect I have ever seen, (and certainly makes Jenny’s old pets seem like dwarves!), measuring at least 6 inches long! His little head moves around and watches us going in and out of the house. This morning though I am sad to say he has moved on (or been eaten :-( ) and vacated his position.
