Nice shot, and great detail. Your focus in on target for sure. Getting to the eye of these creatures is tough. They are soooo long and the eyes tiny. We call them walking sticks here, and they come in several colors depending on the month.

I thought that's a plant from beginning, but when I zoomed in, I saw eyes. What a weird insect. But yes, great details and colours. Thanks for sharing the photo TomM

I've been looking at some photos of what I have here, they are totally different in the heads. Your looks upside down compared to mine. LOL

I thought as well that it's a plant or branch in the first moment. I fully agree to Tina Boes that it's for sure difficult to photograph such an insect! Great photo!
