Giant Stickbug

These large stickbugs are extremely difficult to photograph.  They are about four inches across and six inches in length and VERY skinny.  You have to get very close to them to get any kind of focus, and then some part of the body usually ends up being out of the view of the camera lens.  I have attempted to capture them on the camera several times, and this is my best attempt so far.  Finding the appropriate image size to display on the web poses yet additional challenges!
