Here's something I thought about at the time and now once again looking at this beautiful bug - aren't the wing patterns (the red with the dotted/speckled b&w) kind of reminiscent of the lantern fly? I know that stick insects and flies (?) are not really that related (though both insects?), but I am curious about this likeness... maybe this is a pattern that comes up a lot? You tell me!!!

Well done, well done. Love stick insects, beautiful eyes or not.
Speaking of Criterion Channel, would love to hear (read) your thoughts on Green Porno, the Isabella Rossellini series on bug mating patterns!
