These are the opened seed pods of the blackberry lily. You can understand the
derivation of the name.
This is a walking stick on one of our Buddhist prayer flags.
Walking sticks (Phasmatodea or Phasmida) are common in
our woods. Their interesting behaviors include entering a
motionless state that can be maintained for long periods.
They can perform a side to side swaying motion reflecting
leaves and twigs in the breeze. Their mating behavior is
extraordinary because of the long duration of their coupling.
An Indian species had the world's outdoor coupling record
of 79 days.
