Male Achrioptera manga, native to northern Madagascar, uses camouflage to resemble a spiny twig. When threatened, it flashes its crimson hindwings in a surprise display called aposematism, a warning signal to potential predators. #biology #animals #nature #stickinsect

Had an unexpected visitor last night. Mister G was intently pawing at the screen so I opened it to see what was outside. Lo and behold it was a #StickInsect! G was most upset I released it, but it had already lost a leg to some predator & needed a hand (and a limb).

Pinktober: Back From The Dead- Day 4: Lord Howe Island #StickInsect (Dryococelus)
Also known as Tree Lobsters, the #Dryococelus was thought to be extinct in 1920, but was rediscovered in 2001. The males are significantly smaller than females, with larger thighs.

Another great reason to look after the critically endangered Mabi Forest that's only found in the Wet Tropics...

#StickInsect is very blue.
Achrioptera manga is a stick insect found in Madagascar. This is the male it is metallic turquoise-blue. The female is much larger simple brown or green to camouflage with environment. Entirely herbivores and harmless to humans.

A rather large #StickInsect
Scientists have discovered a giant new species of stick insect in Australia, which is over 15 inches long and researchers say may be the heaviest insect in the country.

And then this fine specimen wanted to watch over me while I slept. But I had to gently show him the door. #stickinsect #australianwildlife
