Not sure of the ID. I've suggested this species because of the pale margin to the wings - I'm not seeing the large spurs on the legs (image 4). It is a slender stick insect at about 80mm in body length. Also, it is similar to one I reported in early Dec 2023 (sighting 4535360), but I think this one could be a different individual.
I have added an image for another stick insect that showed up the next morning (8 Feb) after the one in images 1-4 (7 Feb) and changed the abundance to 2. The new arrival appeared to be very similar in appearance but somewhat smaller, and we had moved the one on 7 Feb to a nearby eucalypt that evening!

Thanks, Roger. All suggestions are appreciated. This has become a mystery stick insect for me and I'll have a closer look at your suggestion. For some reason, several roaming stick insects (2 different species) have arrived at our house since early December.
