STICK INSECT Finding a stick insect requires careful observation; as the name makes very clear, it resembles a stick. This, combined with an ability to stay perfectly still for long stretches of time, provides the stick insect with “one of the most efficient natural camouflages on Earth,” as “National Geographic” aptly puts it. There are many varieties of stick insects. One of the coolest is the giant prickly stick insect, pictured here. Native to Australia, it boasts the added feature of thorn-like spikes to further blend in to its surroundings. If you suffer from an insect phobia, as many do, the Phobaeticus kirbyi will haunt your nightmares. At over 21 inches with its legs outstretched, this is one of the longest insects in the world. You can find it (or try to find it – good luck!) in Borneo. #info #EverythingsInfo
