[quote=\"Flapdoodle\"]This appears to be an immature stick insect, and as such, you likely are going to have difficulty getting a specific i.d. for it. A very similar specimen can be seen at [HYPERLINK@pixabay.com] but unfortunately it is not identified.
Colombia has a very diverse stick insect fauna - the authors of this educational service estimate at least 300 different species could occur there - [HYPERLINK@edubirdie.com]

It looks more like a Clitumninae. I\'d written an essay about this sub-family in school. I\'d try to ask my friend from education service, who studies deeply about Phasmatidae\'s types. I think it\'s same as stick insect on this pic from Wikipedia.
