Spinotectarchus
''Spinotectarchus acornutus'' is a species of stick insect endemic to New Zealand. It belongs to the family Diapheromeridae, and is the only member of the genus ''Spinotectarchus''. It is commonly referred to as the spiny ridge-backed stick insect. Description These stick insects are fairly small, with the body size of females reaching up to 4.8 cm long. Males have a body size of 3.5 to 3.7 cm long. Both males and females come in various colour forms and patterns, ranging from brown to green. Females are bigger, and have a more ridged appearance to their dorsal side. All the legs appear serrated, due to the presence of numerous "teeth". Males are smaller and skinnier, appearing only faintly ridge-backed, and with less prominent "teeth" on the legs compared to the female. An interesting character is that the eggs of ''Spinotectarchus acornutus'' are covered in short spines giving it a hairy appearance. This trait is also shared with '' Asteliaphasma'', another genus of en ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stick Insect
The Phasmatodea (also known as Phasmida, Phasmatoptera or Spectra) are an order of insects whose members are variously known as stick insects, stick-bugs, walking sticks, stick animals, or bug sticks. They are also occasionally referred to as Devil's darning needles, although this name is shared by both dragonflies and crane flies. They can be generally referred to as phasmatodeans, phasmids, or ghost insects, with phasmids in the family Phylliidae called leaf insects, leaf-bugs, walking leaves, or bug leaves. The group's name is derived from the Ancient Greek ', meaning an apparition or phantom, referring to their resemblance to vegetation while in fact being animals. Their natural camouflage makes them difficult for predators to detect; still, many species have one of several secondary lines of defense in the form of startle displays, spines or toxic secretions. Stick insects from the genera '' Phryganistria'', '' Ctenomorpha'', and '' Phobaeticus'' include the world's l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phasmatidae
The Phasmatidae are a family of the stick insects (order Phasmatodea). They belong to the superfamily Anareolatae of suborder Verophasmatodea. Like many of their relatives, the Phasmatidae are capable of regenerating limbs and commonly reproduce by parthenogenesis. Despite their bizarre, even threatening appearance, they are harmless to humans. The Phasmatidae contain some of the largest insects in existence. An undescribed species of '' Phryganistria'' is the longest living insect known, able to reach a total length of 64 cm (25.2 inch). Subfamilies Following the Phasmid Study Group, nine subfamilies are recognized in the Phasmatidae. Other treatments differ, sometimes recognizing as few as six. The Lonchodinae were historically often placed in the Diapheromeridae, the other family of the Anareolatae. The Phasmatinae are often expanded to include the two tribes here separated as the Clitumninae, while the Extatosomatinae may be similarly included in the Tropidoderinae ...

Gratidiini
The Gratidiini are a tribe of stick insects based on the type genus ''Clonaria'' (as an old synonym ''Gratidia'' Stål, 1875) and first used by Cliquennois in 2005. Genera are known to be distributed in: Africa, Europe, temperate and tropical Asia and various Pacific Islands. This tribe was previously placed in the Pachymorphinae, but the current consensus (2022) is that it is better placed in the Bacilloidea: either in the family Bacillidae or a proposed new family "Gratidiidae".Cliquennois (2020) In Aberlenc d.
