Bugs and creepy crawlies usually give me the heebie jeebies, but this leaf bug is so cool looking, not ugly at all! Fantastic photo...our camp participated in a bug hunting workshop today, the kids would have loved this bug too.

Vangirl - Yes, he was a very cool looking insect. I didn't find him creepy at all. I probably would have freaked out if he hopped onto me though. LOL

Hey. I just caught one of these and am planning to keep it. If any of you know what they eat(I'm pretty sure it's leaves...), please contact me. My email should show up on the website. If not, it's sakura_laurel666@yahoo.com. Thanks a bunch.

Beth - Yes, isn't he? ;)

chloe - I think they eat frest Eucalyptus (gum) leaves. This is just a guess though.
