I do wish we could afford a few more pixels though. This is a paltry sum.
Needs more jpeg, there is almost enough pixels to read this.
I think we’re just supposed to infer something generally heartwarming and nod vaguely and approvingly.
I read the letter by squinting , totally worth the read and the post
I copied it via Google Lens and pasted into a file to read.
YMMV.
Dear
Thank you for you
I am so glat you are interested in stick insects Tattoo and when I was your age talve kept son. They are indred fascinating
There are at least two thousand five hundred different species world-wide Most come from the tropics and only a love spectes ever reach this coustry. Sowstifically speaking they belong to groep called the Pharmaton which coesaink bei enguthe left and the stick insects
Suck insects exally do Soksactly like this gyvonvo impossible to spot to the wars they move. They don’t, in fact, dering the day but quite a lot during the night. The kind that is usually brought er here are nearly freies and lay eggs that are fertile without having being fortlined by the The egy look actly like their dropping and sometimes people who keep them don’t one that and throw them away when they are duning out their sages
The one of which you sent me a photograph, however is tot, howeverak sext. ft’s a leaf insect. There are many many ferent species of these as well They vary in the food they prefer and many eat other kinds of leaves than the hawthorn and be and which you say yours perfer.

It please me that you have a ready answer to this question.
It concerns me that I have not heard of them until just now. However, I’m getting old enough that that may not be relevant.
Why rename?
Because it’s a leaf insect not a stick insect. So the stick name is inappropriate.
Ah, thank you. I assume that’s in the blurriness I decided not to read.
It is actually in the first sentence of the last paragraph of blurriness though I could only make this out after reading the comment above about stick vs leaf insects.
It is. The first couple paragraphs are more legible.
I read that whole letter in his voice.
What do pixels sound like?
An avuncular throat clearing.
