    The walkingsticks (also known as stick insects) are easily recognized by
    their stick-like appearance. The walkingsticks are the masters of camouflage in
    the insect world, and there are stick insects that look like both twigs and
    leaves. In North America there are only a handful of species, and
    they are all less than 4" in length when full grown. The stick insects reach
    their greatest numbers (and size) in the tropics.
    ON THE BACK OF THE CARD IS FRENCH TEXT.
