Pseudodiacantha Macklotti
''Pseudodiacantha'' is an Asian genus of stick insects in the family Lonchodidae and subfamily Necrosciinae Necrosciinae is a subfamily of the stick insect family Lonchodidae, with its greatest diversity in South-East Asia. The subfamilies Necrosciinae and Lonchodinae, formerly part of Diapheromeridae, were determined to make up a separate family a .... Members of ''Pseudodiacantha'' are excellent examples of camouflage, as they are known to cover themselves in mossy or lichenous outgrowths that supplement their disguise.

Ludwig Redtenbacher
Ludwig Redtenbacher (June 10, 1814, in Kirchdorf an der Krems, Austria – February 8, 1876, in Vienna) was an Austrian medical doctor and entomologist mainly interested in beetles. Life Ludwig Redtenbacher was the brother of the chemist Josef Redtenbacher (1810–1870). From 1833 to 1838, Ludwig Redtenbacher studied medicine at the University of Vienna, becoming a salaried trainee in 1840. In 1843, he earned his medical doctorate, afterwards working as an assistant with the entomological collection of the ''Hofnaturalienkabinett'' (from 1847). In 1851, he became a professor of zoology in Prague and, from 1860, he was director of the Vienna Natural History Museum. Although Redtenbacher worked mainly on the beetles of Austria, his new approach to classification or, in German, "''analytischen''" was widely adopted. He is also significant for his work involving beetles collected on the voyage of the ''Novara'', an Austrian frigate that went on a round-the-world scientific exped ...

Stick Insects
The Phasmatodea (also known as Phasmida or Phasmatoptera) are an order of insects whose members are variously known as stick insects, stick bugs, walkingsticks, 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 longest inse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Insects Described In 1908
Insects (from Latin ') are hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (Insect morphology#Head, head, Thorax (insect anatomy), thorax and abdomen (insect anatomy), abdomen), three pairs of jointed Arthropod leg, legs, compound eyes, and a pair of antenna (biology), antennae. Insects are the most diverse group of animals, with more than a million described species; they represent more than half of all animal species. The insect nervous system consists of a insect brain, brain and a ventral nerve cord. Most insects reproduce Oviparous, by laying eggs. Insects Respiratory system of insects, breathe air through a system of Spiracle (arthropods), paired openings along their sides, connected to Trachea#Invertebrates, small tubes that take air directly to the tissues. The blood therefore does not carry oxygen; it is only partly contained in vessels, and some circulates ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
