It seems the miner tore off all the limbs. When shooting this, I thought it was eating a stick!!!

Equipment used
Canon 7d + kit telephoto lens
What a way to go, you can't even flail your limbs in agony! Wonderful shot of this feeding behaviour!

What a great spot! And a great behavioural capture too Scott.

A shame for the stick insect though, but I suppose it made for a decent snack!

I love the pose you've captured - thanks lad.
 
A splendid behavioural shot Scott, I love the angle and the detail is excellent. What a magnificent eye!!
 
I've never seen a stick bug as huge as this. Wonderfully detailed photo of the NoisyMiner.
