Sunda Colugo Stick Insect
A very slender, elongated stick insect found in the highlands of Southeast Asia. It is bright green with extremely long thin legs and sways gently when disturbed to mimic vegetation in wind.
Did You Know?
Females can reproduce through parthenogenesis, producing viable female offspring without mating with males.

A vivid metallic green longhorn beetle with a slender body and long antennae. It breeds exclusively in bamboo stems.
Did You Know?
It is so closely tied to bamboo that mass bamboo flowering and die-off events cause population booms followed by crashes.
