High up in the frigid páramo tundra around Cotopaxi volcano was the last place I expected to find a stick insect. Yet, here among the frost-encrusted vegetation was one of the most fascinating species I had ever encountered. I wanted to photograph this species amid its beautiful alpine landscape, hence the use of a wide-angle lens.
