I would like to offer the following photograph to my fellow A2K'ers as a sort of belated Christmas present. I'm sure most of you have never seen a phasmid with a missing leg, and this will give you something to talk about around the office water cooler.
I ask for nothing in return. I am simply here to share my phasmidic knowledge.
Thanks for looking...
Thanks Gus, I'll cherish it forever.
I'm glad you both enjoyed the photo. I'm all about sharing.
Wonder if the missing leg is with the missing underwire...
The missing leg is NOT with the underwire, it is with the lost socks.
The underwire, after a brief trip to earth, to be photographed with little k's avatar, resumed its life in the heavens, as part of a constellation, along with Belinda's lock (as Pope tells us) and sundry other trophies from especially lovely women.
That's no phasmid. That's a twig.
nah - it's got five legs.
Thanks Gus, I can rest easy tonight as you have found the THING I have searched an eternity for.
I salute your graciousness.

It had a missing leg? How does it communicate with the other phasmids from planet Kamelf?
I think it's just on a waiting list to get a false leg attached. Phasmids base their medical system on the Canadian model. They get free medical, but if you are seriously injured or dying, it can often be a long time before you get treatment.
do you think those suspicious little ants under the phasmidic had anything to do with his missing leg?

No problem, Celil. You must be weary after your long journey. To finally have completed the eternal "Five-legged Phasmid Quest" must be very gratifying.
I'm glad I was there for you.
littlek never ceases to amaze me! Her deductive skills, as always, were amazing when she said this...

If you look very carefully at the ant above the phasmid you will see what looks suspiciously like phasmid leg residue, caked around its greedy little mouth.
Bastard ants!
Good call, littlek
I confess I never wanted one before now.
Stumble It!
