Watching Walkingsticks


Stick Insects (Order Phasmatodea)

This gallery features the Two-striped Walkingstick (Anisomorpha buprestoides)
Nahkeehona has suggested that some of this specimens (particularly the images with male and female) are a related walkingstick, Anisomorpha ferruginea, due to the lack of prominent orange stripes on the body.
A number of the images depict mating pairs in which the smaller male is located on the back of the female.
With this species, the males may remain on the female for much of their adult lives.
Several additional species of the Diapheromera genus are also shown.
