Worship the stick insect

Good morning to the blog o verse.  Mycroft was concerned this morning, while walking up the local main street, to see what appeared to be a picture of a giant stick insect on the wall of a local church.  This appeared to indicate that the church had been taken over by a new cult which demanded the worship of stick insects.  While this sort of thing would barely raise an eyebrow in Sydney, as I walked closer I saw I was mistaken.

The picture is in fact the crown of thorns and the poster was for Easter.  Mycroft of course does not poke fun at such things.

That the worship of a cult of giant stick insects had taken off in Sydney's inner west would have been a more fascinating story to report.  One can't have everything.

If anyone intends to start a cult of worshipping stick insects, preferably giant ones, please let Mycroft know.  Though I must admit if anyone is game to admit to worshipping stick insects of any size that is clearly worthy of a blog entry.

I should mention that if you Google 'Worshipping Stick Insects' you will get some results about thin models appearing in fashion magazines. Mycroft is not looking to stimulate debate about body image. This is all about the insect type of stick insect.
