A short post that is brought to you by being sick

Yesterday afternoon I had to relocate a very small walking stick insect from my office back to the outdoors. It did not have survival skills - it was trying to get to the outside through the window, and although it went quickly into the box it took about three or four minutes to get it to go out of the box and into the gardens.
At one point it did its 'I am a leaf on the wind!' thing, but seeing as how it was on top of a cardboard box instead of a plant and there was no wind at the time, the impression wasn't very convincing. This is okay, as walking stick insects are one of the types of bugs that I actually really like.
This wasn't one of your more scraggly interesting looking walking stick bugs; it was really more of a green line with some other green lines and a lot of brown lines.
Unfortunately, I have no photo. I will now go back to working on my report thing.
