Ich hab ausm Freiland nur Pijnackeria hispanica aus den Pyrenäen. Dafür aber saftig grün.

Geht schon, aber ich muss in den "Zoo"-Ordner greifen

🎄 #InsectAdvent Day 13 - #Phasmatodea, the masters of disguise 🪵 Their bodies mimic twigs, leaves or bark so well they almost vanish against foliage.
#FunFact: Some #phasmids reproduce by #parthenogenesis (females produce offspring without mating).

Hesperophasma sp. "La Ciénaga" are a very pleasant species to keep. Males have lovely ruby wings while the females are highly variable in colouration. #phasmid #phasmatodea #insects #bugsky #stickbug #nature

"Mutation March 2025, day 26 - stick bug." Watercolor and marker illustration of a stick insect, but it has undergone fasciation (a relatively rare condition in plants that causes them to become elongated perpendicular to the direction of growth). The insect's head fans out to have stretched-out eyes and multiple mouths and antenae. The end of its abdomen similarly fans out, and the wings have grown so excessively that they are folding in on themselvs, creating a ruffled edge.
✨Mutation March, day 26 - stick bug✨
It's a fasciated phasmid! Gosh, I really love fasciation. In hindsight, I kinda wish I had done a whole month of fasciated plant creatures.

Stick insect (maybe genus Dyme?) bearing body-length antennae with red legs and a green and yellow body dotted with black spines resting vertically on an upright branch in the vegetation of an Ecuadorian rainforest. Attached just behind the head of the stick insect is a yellowish-white engorged ectoparasitic fly species in genus Forcipomyia.
Close-up of stick insect Stick insect (maybe genus Dyme?) showing the black spines dotted along the green and yellow body. A leaf forms the background vegetation of this photo taken in an Ecuadorian rainforest.
Centered in a close-up image of a stick insect is a yellowish-white engorged ectoparasitic fly (a species in the genus Forcipomyia) attached behind a prothorasic leg.
“Functional & decorative?” This #stick #insect (Order #Phasmatodea) from #RioQuijosEcolodge #Ecuador sports an impressive suit of spines on its green, red & yellow body. They look harmless, but maybe not be in a predator's mouth! An engorged #Ectoparasitic #Forcipomyia #fly isn’t bothered by them.
Green & Yellow walking stick with red legs.
Black and yellow walking stick with enormous inflated abdominal tip.
Large daddy-long leg/harvestman with a rust colored body.

“Long, leggy things abound” #RioQuijosEcolodge #Ecuador was wonderland for #stick #insects (Order #Phasmatodea) & impressive #harvestmen (#Arachnid relatives in Order #Opiliones). I typically found something new & really big, awesome, or weird along dark forest paths every 5 min during nightwalks
Brown spiny leaf insect on an adults hand with a dark green background. It's the size about half the hand and looks like fall foliage. Image credit to Alan Henderson.
Green leaf insect Phyllium sp. standing on a slightly darker green leaf backround. The insect is bright green and has legs and abdomen that resemble fresh green leaves.
Which bugs do you think would be stoners- I'll start with a given: LEAF INSECTS (specifically spiny leaf insect. Broadly other phasmids... walking sticks I see you...)
