Hainan Stick Insect
A slender green stick insect found on Hainan Island in southern China. It feeds on tropical broadleaf vegetation.
Did You Know?
Hainan Island's isolation has produced several endemic phasmid species found nowhere else.
Leaf-Rolling Rose Sawfly
A tiny black sawfly that causes rose leaflets to roll downward into tight cylinders. The larva feeds inside the rolled leaf shelter.
Did You Know?
The female injects a chemical into the leaf margin during egg-laying that causes the leaf to roll tightly, creating a protective tube for the developing larva.
