This is surely playing tricks with my brain..hard to get away from seeing the face pointing in the other direction - like a grasshopper with its front legs and antennae back over its head and lying on its back. So intriguing. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

  Interesting perspective, Ruth :D
  But this is usually the common posture of Phasmids at rest, so probably its the shape of the head that creates the trick :D Posted 5 years ago
