This walking stick insect visited our classroom. He belongs to Aim High, the daycare on the Brentwood School campus. He is a year old.

These are baby stick insects. Mrs. Rodriquez' friend raised them from eggs. We will be raising a couple of them in our classroom. Their camouflage is so good that it's hard to find them in the cage.

We learned a lot a about stick insects by visiting web sites on the Internet. We made a book about some of the information we learned. Please read our online book.
