I found this spiny critter enjoying life at the butterfly house in Bordano, Italy. Within the three tropical ecosystem pavillions, aside from thousands of butterflies, you will also see insects, animals, and flowers from the tropical regions. As always, thank you for looking and leaving a comment.

That is a place I would love to visit. A strange creature that I have never seen but then there are so many that one has never seen. A very good capture.

I agree with Bob that it may some type of stick insect - they are all very strange looking. - Nicely capture with great detail.
