I just saw the biggest fucking phasmid (stick insect) in the world. It looked like a museum enlarged model of an insect.

It would scare the absolute crap out of half of you.

When I went camping in the Kimberly last year, I woke up one morning to find two stick instects going at it, stick to stick, on my swag.

It was weird, but I just flicked them off and went back to sleep.

This fella would require more than a mere flick.

When I say freaking huge I mean FREAKING huge.

I wanna see!

[firvulag.livejournal.com]

The huge stick, or the 2 sticks going at it?

[aurickandrien.livejournal.com]

Fudge off. It was BJ's entry that I replied to.

And?
I was bored, and I've noticed many people comment directly rather than as replies in a thread, so i took that and ran with it :)
At least have a sense of humour higher than someone we know

What is that?

It ugly enough to be an aye-aye (a species of lemur), but the colors are wrong.

No wait, it's a tarsir, right?

Belinda? Help me out here?

it looks like 'Baby' from that wierd-arse anime in the Animatrix done by the Aeon Flux guy (Peter Chung???(

Re: *ooooh*

[leemur.livejournal.com]

Baby was a Tasir.

And yes, it was Peter Chung. He also did the 'Dark Fury' cartoon that shows what happened between the two Chronicles of Riddick movies.

Incedently, a live action Aeon Flux movie is being made.

Re: *ooooh*

[purrdence.livejournal.com]

yes, I have heard. It was on the Angriest LJ feed

Re: *ooooh*

[leemur.livejournal.com]

Incedently, if I had an experimental punk band, I would them 'Baby Was A Tarsir'.

Re: *ooooh*

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Maybe a bushbaby? *shrug*

Reminds me a bit of the Spongemonkeys.

And do you mean tarsier?

Re: *ooooh*

[blue-cat.livejournal.com]

Specifically it is a Philippine Tarsier from Loboc breeding center - it was featured in a story on the BBC :)

and you could have cheated by going to my list of icons and reading that as I was very careful to put it here cause I would have had NO clue :D
