Hey there! I was wondering if you’d be able to ID these for me. The stick bug was found in Indiana, and the other two were from when I was doing fieldwork in Puerto Rico over the summer! Even if you can’t ID I thought they were pretty cool! ????This stick insect is a Northern Walkingstick (Diapheromera femorata), one of the coolest insects in the Midwest. The other to I probably can’t get to species but I’ll give my best guesses. The spider looks like a tarantula, maybe Avicularia laeta or a similar species. The moth is one of the Hawk Moths (Sphingidae), probably Xylophanes pluto or a very similar species. Cool finds!
