Northern Two-Striped Walkingstick

Anisomorpha ferruginea

These wingless insects use their shape and color as camouflage to hide from predators. The much smaller males are sometimes found riding on the backs of the females. Because this reminds people of a jockey on a horse, they have been given the nickname “musk mare.”
