everyone stop what you're doing RIGHT NOW and look at this photo of my stickbug with a little raindrop hat

#his name is twiggy :) #stick insect #insects #bugs #cute bugs #northern walkingstick #diapheromera femorata #pet insects #bugs// #insects// #i misted his enclosure through the ceiling mesh (making sure to avoid spraying him ofc) and he ran right up there to drink the big drops #i think he mightve accidentally knocked one loose & it dripped onto his head 😅

Animal of the Day!

Lord Howe Island Stick-insect (Dryococelus australis)

(Photo from Melbourne Zoo)

Conservation Status- Critically Endangered

Habitat- Ball’s Pyramid

Size (Weight/Length)- 25 g; 20 cm

Diet- Melaleuca leaves

Cool Facts- Also called the tree lobster, the Lord Howe Island stick-insect is considered possibly the rarest insect alive today. By 1920, they were believed to have gone extinct after their complete eradication from Lord Howe Island due to being a popular fishing bait and invasive black rats. In 2001, these stick-insects were rediscovered on the tiny island of Ball’s Pyramid with 24 individuals found alive. Two breeding pairs were removed from Ball’s Pyramid and sent to the Melbourne Zoo and a private breeder. Further breeding programs across the world have increased their population to an estimated 9,000 individuals. As of 2018, efforts began in eradicating the black rats from Lord Howe Island with future plans of reintroducing these amazing insects to their native range.

Rating- 13/10 (One of the very few, possibly monogamous insects.)

OKAY final photo set for my time at the bug museum! There was SO many specimens I couldn’t photograph, but these are some of my favourites! I am also SO excited to have seen a death head hawk moth in person! I am forever grateful to have had such a wonderful experience <3
