Water Stick Insect
Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 5:26 pm
Hilary Ash and myself were recently checking the condition of a small educational pond on Bidston Moss, a reclaimed landfill site in the Wirral when we netted a specimen of the water stick insect (Ranatra linearis).
This impressive insect was initially hard to spot as it was motionless and well camouflaged among the weed debris in the white dish.
Full details of the record were entered into RODIS and a voucher photo taken.
