Carausius (insect)
''Carausius'' is a genus of the tribe Lonchodini, in the order Phasmatodea (stick and leaf insects). The genus is in many ways typical of the Phasmatodea in that all species are twig-like in appearance. These species are parthenogenetic. ''Carausius morosus'' is the most commonly kept stick insect in captivity. Species The '' Phasmida Species File'' lists: # '' Carausius abdominalis'' (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907) # '' Carausius alluaudi'' (Bolívar Urrutia 1895) # '' Carausius baumei'' Karny, 1910 # '' Carausius bicornis'' Ho, 2017 - Vietnam # '' Carausius bolivari'' (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907) # '' Carausius bracatus'' Rehn, 1904 # '' Carausius burri'' Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907 # '' Carausius crawangensis'' (de Haan, 1842) # '' Carausius cristatus'' Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907 # '' Carausius debilis'' Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907 # '' Carausius detractus'' Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1907 # '' Carausius emeiensis'' Chen & He, 2008 # '' Carausius erniwatiae'' Seow-Choen, 2020 # ...

Females are also brighter than the males and have a larger abdomen tipped with a beak-shaped ovipositor with which they lay the eggs in damp soil.
