I have no idea. I went out on the porch to find some geckos and saw these near the door. I really wasn't prepared for a macro so I just shot a few with my G12. Pretty dark and only lit with the flash.
I know there is no scale in there but the big one was about 3 inches long. I was hoping the flash wouldn't startle them. If they would have jumped or flew on me, I would have likely ran out into traffic.

Well their behavior is very similar to stick bugs, so I'm assuming they're probably in the same family. I see stick bugs around my office all the time, and yes, they always come in pairs! And you are indeed correct, the male is the small one ;)

I'm wondering if they're cave crickets:

I think they are most likely the alien things from the Men in Black lounge.
Isn't it funny we naturally assume sex rather than mother rearing child or the like? |

not cave crickets - cave crickets have fat bodies and stripey legs, hate light and will jump at you. we have em in our garage.
i was also thinking walking stick. and if it only had the praying hands, would look like a mantis. |

Say, aren't these things only found in New Guinea unless they are pets? |
