STICK INSECT

Age: 45 million years

Period: Eocene

Location: Baltic States, Russia

The stick insects are known for their ponderously
slow movements and superb camouflage. With
their long bodies, antennae and colors, they do in-
deed resemble slender twigs. It can sometimes be
difficult to tell a stick insect on a plant apart from
the plant itself.

Animals that use various forms of camouflage
enjoy special protection with their bodily struc-
tures, shapes, colors and patterns, all created to
match the environments they inhabit. As can be

seen in this specimen, living things possess well-
organized, complex structures that totally invali-
date the theory of evolution's claims of "chance."
Every living thing bears its own evidence that it
was created. The ability to employ camouflage is
just one of these pieces of evidence.
