[MaggotF0rLife]

It's either this or a different kind of stick insect, but there are less than 10 of them left.

[tyra696]

OMG!! I saw one of these (we grew up in the woods of CT) as a child. I get the chills whenever I think about it. My bf has never seen one so I found your vid on youtube. That one is huge! Im never going to New Zealand!!!! ACK!!

[MikyWrita]

lol the whole video it looks like its dancing XD Stick Insects are groovy :D

[EnclaveSolo]

IDK men but this insect looks pissed off and is coming for you. Prepare some raid or blackjack.

[rem2267]

I saw a very large one of these in Valley Stream State Park, NY, when I was 11. He emerged from nowhere, and started trotting off. Me and my cousin got outa dodge immediately.

I have never been the same and/or sane since.

[Magikjimmey]

haha really looks like a stick XD

[hottyboy315]

where do these guys live

[squashfishes]

ive got a mate who has a phobia of these things, I asked him why, he's all like :"they just sit there and sway back and forth(0:33-0:44), they dont know which way they're going WHAT KINDA BUG DOES THAT!!!!" hahahaha

[Metalmachine18]

as a kid i used to come home and occassionally find huge stick insects about a metre long in random places. this is very very occassionally though

[sahelsahel1]

i know how to make one

[masterchief3k]

1:30, lol wat

[KkF00]

Why is he dancing? lol

[UniqueMonique513]

I JUST SEEN ONE OF THESE BOUT 0 min ago on ma back porch fighting a daddy Long LEGGER!!

[clickthisway]

@UniqueMonique513 No way! Who won?

[felixthemaster1]

@clickthisway

daddy long legger!

[UniqueMonique513]

@UniqueMonique513 I didnt stay outside to watch..lol my fiancee was out there lookin at them . If it had my hand in winning..WITH ALL THOSE LEGS in the way it'd be a tie but I'd give it to the Stick BUG!

[monjanse]

so cute!

[fallingup90]

the stick bugs must have a lot of sex. after all their best pickup line is: i got wood.

[Hisomuyi]

its neat, i had a pet chameleon once that did that exact same thing when it moved, it would sway back and forth or forward and backward and i could never understand why, turns out its to simulate leaves blowing in the wind, this stick does the same thing, its weird how they know to do that.

[AmosNomore]

Time spent assisting stick insects with their calisthenics is never deducted from one's allotted span on Earth.

[BlaBla0017]

lokks so funny were is the head?? xD

and are the dangerous for human or are the kidding aus ^^ :D

[sadistickitty1977]

oik those things - much like the mantis - are pretty freakin cool.

[mystic0276]

IS IT HARD LIKE A TREE BRANCH?

[Jopari444]

[TEHHAIRYTOE]

found one in my pool and i thought it was a twig :)

[BiftaDubstep]

ai ai ai 1:25 - 1:34 was like attack of the twig LMAO too funny IM STILL CRYING!!!

[MrCrayonInk95]

How do they mate????

[1812jacko]

@MrCrayonInk95  They dont mate, they lay dont have to. they just lay eggs.

[TheInsectMania]

@1812jacko Most species mate. But they can lay eggs without mating.

[LayDxM]

EEN BOOM

[ghkbella]

I use to hold those when i was a kid but not any more they gross me out lol

[Phazial]

Nice video. But "Giant walking stick insect", am I detecting a lack of info? :P

A more scientific name is Phasmatodea, I think this one is "Ctenomorphodes chronus", closest looking thing in my insect book atleast. Did you make a trip to Australia during this or can these be found in New Zeeland?

lol @ 1:22 "ajajaj". :D

[xMizuKun]

ha he scare that it walks up to the camra

[fuckyou1458]

lol at its drunk walk, how clever that they not only look like a twig but move like one in the wind. thats evolution for ya :D

[Kabuterrible]

[monjanse]

so cute they are.

[scraperindustry]

lol, it climbed up your camera. haha

[nyago20]

[Nakedguy01]

Can these insects harm humans in any way? They look really awesome.

[clickthisway]

@Nakedguy01 I don't think so. Pretty small mouths n no sting.

[jibety66]

@Nakedguy01 ive held one before so i dont think it would either

[WVliberty]

turkeys love em

[FLOSUNSHINE]

I still remeber the first time I saw a walking stick. I was about 8 or 9 years old and has just relocated from Chicago to Orlando with my family. Me and some newly found friends decided to explore a wooded area and one walked right in front of me. Man, I screamed like Drew Barrymore did when she first saw E.T!!!!! lol!

[GiZmoZix]

Wow , a really cool insect . Seems like the longer the legs the harder to walk

[JuggleG]

Cute!

[SoldatSolutrea]

Phasmids are professionals at crysis, that rocking motion is to resemble a stick blowing in the wind. This one is particularly interesting, it even has thorns.

[81kamill]

Lol it was coming for ya i see. Lol like how you were going Uhhh.... ehhhhhh

[seanthemonx]

[321beth321]

@jamesnuutinen lmaolmaolmaolmaolmao

[mugicfan1]

I like how it attacked the camera! :P

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

The only ones I have seen in the Great Lakes States are tiny, frail looking insects. That insect is enourmous in comparison.

[RoninTXBR549]

Excellent footage...

[vanbaalen5]

[SSJ3Ulcer]

Its not enough to look like a stick, it has to have spines too!

[GalactusNJ]

[shaggy2dope150]

[LesEnfantsTerriblas]

[ShakeITyEA]

one amazing creature

[gokuro12]

is that real live stick or is that some animal? sry my bad english :DDD

[clickthisway]

It is an insect that looks like a stick. This is to be less readily seen by predators - such as birds.

[DazmoTube]

yeah but birds get sticks to make nests. . . darwin is stupid. :-D

[193119781]

no it's a real live stick that breathes through it's bark....moron.

[benedictbenf]

lol definitley :P

[rosalinda804]

[AQworldsVideos]
