Hujiayao's Stick Insect
A small stick insect from the subtropical forests of China. It is distinguished from related species by subtle differences in leg spine patterns.
Did You Know?
The ongoing discovery of new Neohirasea species suggests China harbors far more stick insect diversity than previously known.
Rolled-Wing Stonefly
A small autumn-emerging stonefly with wings rolled around the body. It is one of the few stoneflies that hatches in late summer and autumn.
Did You Know?
This stonefly has an unusual life cycle, emerging as an adult in autumn rather than the spring emergence typical of most stonefly species.
