This baby didn't make it (beware alien image)

A baby stick insect that couldn't release it's self. This is only the second one I've seen this happen too, poor thing. You can see the mite on its head tidying up the dead insect.

They are mites not lice sorry and they are everywhere, you even have them on you too in one form or another as does everybody.

Thanks for looking folks

Amazing shots Alby, such detail. Although the facts about the lice is possibly too much detail

I agree on all counts,she says scratching her arm

Did the stick insect just get stuck coming out of ite egg case?

 

[shooting_stars]

I love no. 3 - you can just imagine it trying to get out with one last push....

interesting Alby.
thanks for the insight

I guess it got stuck and I left it to get on with it, they are so small if you try and help you would damage them anyway, this one does look a little dried out as I didn't snap it for a couple of days as I had been too busy. Thanks for looking everyone
