A better name for that one might be LOG insect

Walking sticks, as they are usually called in the U.S., exhibit wonderful camouflage! Some can even alter their pigmentation to match their environment!

Cool bug photo!

Ya, but, can it change into a brick?

Crazy one for today.

Awwww, stick it in your ear why don't you!

I have seen walking sticks before, but never this big! Thanks!

My guess is that this is an Aussie photo, our house has identical fly screens.

Oh, no! Not another interesting one ! I have to fix my autoharp today !

How do we know it's not a stick, pretending to be a bug?

Not a very satisfactory solution today:
1. Unique possibilities to 27.
2. If g7=6,triple 378 at g123,h3=5,d3=9,c3=8=b6,i6=6 and it took me well into UP seventies before a contradiction occurred!Hence i7=6.UPs to 81.

19:12, everyone.

too slow

15.10 It's a buggy kind of day.

Sorry for the late posting folks - we were up where this photo was taken for the long weekend! Glad you liked it!

Over an hour to solve

SE=8.5

it was late - couldn't reproduce result
anyway here is one possibility

1.SST to UP27
2.{(8=6)i6-(169')h46g5=(6)h12-(6=378)g123-(78=5)h3-(378')agh3=(8)c3-c5=b6}
> -8h126|c1 -678g5 -59a3 -6i45
3.{(9=8)c3-h3=h9-(38')ef9=(8)e12-(8=5)f2-(5=9)d3}
> -5f9|def1|e2 -8g39|b2|f19
4.(7=139)afg5-(3)f9=(3-8)e9=h9-h3=c3-c5=i5
> -7i5 .. YW(895)ch3a1, -5h1, More...

note: step 2 and 3 are basically one long loop split up. step 5 and 6 could be combined with a pause -19..-(249=6)cdf1 etc.

A longer path:
1)SSTS to UP=27
2)YWS:(3)f9=(3-8)e9=e12-(8=5)f2,=>f9<>5
3)(159=8)bcf7-(8=5)f2-(5=9)e3-(9=8)c3-c5=b6 -(8=6)i6-i7=(6)g7,=>g7<>19
4)(7=193)agf5-(3)f9=(3-8)e9=e12-(8=5)f2-(5=9)d3-(9=8)c3-c5=(8)i More...

Typo:4)=>i5<>7.UP=31
