Eurycnema Goliath
''Eurycnema goliath'', commonly known as the goliath stick insect, or the regal stick insect, is a large species of stick insect in the family Phasmatidae, endemic to Australia and considered one of the largest species of stick insects in the country. The species has the Phasmid Study Group number PSG14. Taxonomy ''E. goliath'' was first described by English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1834, using two female specimens, one of which came from the collection belonging to British entomologist John Curtis at the Museum of Victoria. The species is named after the biblical giant Goliath from the popular story of David vs Goliath in the Book of Samuel, and refers to the impressive size of the insect. Gray originally placed the species in the genus '' Phasma''. In 1935, Gray then transferred the insect to the genus '' Acrophylla''''.'' 7 years later in 1842, Dutch zoologist Wilhelm de Haan transferred the goliath to the genus ''Cyphrocrania''''.'' The insect was placed into it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eurycnema Versirubra
''Eurycnema versirubra'', the red-winged green giant stick insect, is a species of stick insect from Timor, Solor and Wetar Islands, Java, Sumatra, Southeast Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. The original habitat of ''Eurycnema versirubra'' is suspected to be Timor, probably brought from there to Java and Malaysia for captivity purposes, because there are no known records of the species existing there. Description Females are large, winged, and green in color. They measure up to in body length. Males range between to .

Phasmatodea
The Phasmatodea (also known as Phasmida, Phasmatoptera or Spectra) are an order of insects whose members are variously known as stick insects, stick-bugs, walking sticks, stick animals, or bug sticks. They are also occasionally referred to as Devil's darning needles, although this name is shared by both dragonflies and crane flies. They can be generally referred to as phasmatodeans, phasmids, or ghost insects, with phasmids in the family Phylliidae called leaf insects, leaf-bugs, walking leaves, or bug leaves. The group's name is derived from the Ancient Greek ', meaning an apparition or phantom, referring to their resemblance to vegetation while in fact being animals. Their natural camouflage makes them difficult for predators to detect; still, many species have one of several secondary lines of defense in the form of startle displays, spines or toxic secretions.

Phasmatini
PhasmatiniLeach (1815) In Brewster, D. ''The Edinburgh Encyclopedia'' 9: 119. is a tribe of stick insects in the family Phasmatidae. There are more than 40 described species, found in Australasia, Asia and possibly Brazil.

Phasmatidae
The Phasmatidae are a family of the stick insects ( order Phasmatodea). They belong to the superfamily Anareolatae of suborder Verophasmatodea. Like many of their relatives, the Phasmatidae are capable of regenerating limbs and commonly reproduce by parthenogenesis. Despite their bizarre, even threatening appearance, they are harmless to humans. The Phasmatidae contain some of the largest insects in existence. An undescribed species of ''Phryganistria'' is the longest living insect known, able to reach a total length of 64 cm (25.2 inch). Subfamilies Following the Phasmid Study Group, nine subfamilies are recognized in the Phasmatidae. Other treatments differ, sometimes recognizing as few as six. The Lonchodinae were historically often placed in the Diapheromeridae, the other family of the Anareolatae. The Phasmatinae are often expanded to include the two tribes here separated as the Clitumninae, while the Extatosomatinae may be similarly included in the Tropidoderi ...

Australasia
Australasia is a region that comprises Australia, New Zealand and some neighbouring islands in the Pacific Ocean. The term is used in a number of different contexts, including geopolitically, physiogeographically, philologically, and ecologically, where the term covers several slightly different, but related regions. Derivation and definitions Charles de Brosses coined the term (as French ''Australasie'') in ''Histoire des navigations aux terres australes'' (1756). He derived it from the Latin for "south of Asia" and differentiated the area from Polynesia (to the east) and the southeast Pacific (Magellanica). In the late 19th century, the term Australasia was used in reference to the "Australasian colonies". In this sense it related specifically to the British colonies south of Asia: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia, Victoria (i.e., the Australian colonies) and New Zealand. Australasia found continued geopolitical attention in the earl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
