It is a beautiful account of overcoming even the greatest of obstacles. But I must admit, watching that hatchling prying itself from its egg reminded me a bit to much of Alien. I kept waiting for the Facehugger to suddenly launch itself at the face of some unsuspecting zoologist just off shot.

They're certainly not the prettiest of creatures, but I'd prefer them to black rats!

You know the best thing about keeping stick insects as pets?

When they die you don't notice.
