Laboratory Stick-insect
Carausius morosus
The adult laboratory stick-insect occupies shrubs and low vegetation, especially in warm captive enclosures and gardens. It is a quiet nocturnal leaf-eater, spending daylight hours motionless among stems. Despite its long adult body, it remains wingless and relies chiefly on twig-like camouflage and stillness for protection.
