I am once again blown away by Mother Nature. I just spent a few minutes looking for insects among the leaves on this hand before realizing that they are ALL insects. Scientists suggest the insects began to mimic the appearance of leaves, flowers, and twigs thanks to random genetic mutations and it has allowed them to hide away in vegetation to escape predators for millions of years. 

(Were you able to find Oakleaf Butterfly, Orchid Mantis, Stick Insect and 2 Leaf Insects in the above photo?)

My leaf insects are so bitchy they literally stomp on each others heads when they’re on the same hand for too long 😭

Our honeymoon was on Mackinac Island and these were some of the lovely critters we met at my favorite place in the whole wide world, the Butterfly House 🥰 my husband wasn't sure if he'd enjoy it but he ended up having a wonderful time and was just like me; bending down to take as many photos as possible and walking very carefully to make sure we didn't step on any resting butterflies 🥹❤️ we even got to hold the sweetest bearded dragon named Pimento!

We’re on an Insect roll at the moment, and here is probably one of the coolest bugs I’ve ever seen: The Spiny Leaf Insect! They are also known as Australian Walking Sticks and are a species of Phasmatids.

Honestly, Spiny Leaf Insect sounds more like a general description than an actual name-

#Phylum: Arthropoda #Class: Insecta #Order: Phasmatodea #Family: Phasmatidae #Subfamily: Extatosomatinae #Genus: Extatosoma #Extatosoma tiaratum #Australian walking sticks #Spiny leaf insects #Walking sticks #leaf insects #Phasmatids #insects

You have leaf insects! 🤩 I'd looove to see em! Do you mind showing them? 😊

Sure thing! Thank you for the ask <3

I have a bunch of Phyllium philippinicum and they are so cute 😍

Here are two pictures of a teenager from when I was cleaning their home yesterday:

And here is a photo of a grown lady from last year

The current generation does not have names (there are so many of them 😵‍💫) but my first seven were named after The Seven Birds from The Adventure Zone podcast.
