Mating Muskmares
Dear CRB,
These are Two Striped Walkingsticks in the genus Anisomorpha, commonly called Muskmares because they are often found in the mating position with the considerably smaller male on top. Caution should be exercised in handling Muskmares because according to BugGuide: “Members of this genus can deliver a chemical spray to the eyes that can cause corneal damage.”
