Oren the bowtruckle

Bowtruckles, also known as walking sticks or dancing twigs, are fascinating creatures that belong to the tree family. These remarkable beasts are masters of camouflage, possessing an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly into their environment. Their long and slender bodies often mimic twigs or branches, enabling them to hide from predators and ambush unsuspecting prey. Dancing twigs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from a few centimeters to over a half meter in length. They possess powerful legs that aid in their quick and deliberate movements, further enhancing their camouflage. These remarkable insects can be found in various habitats worldwide, such as forests, gardens, and even as pets in some households. By understanding the scientific nature of bowtruckles we gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate wonders that exist within the natural world.

Ariana Fate found Oren among boston ivy while working at a greenhouse during the midst of the pandemic. He was tending to some powdery mildew that had grown about the leaves. But it was quickly moving onto the little bowtruckle and Ariana Fate pulled him out of the leaves and washed him off. They were immediate pals.
