Anisomorpha buprestoides
The Southern Two-striped Walkingstick is a cool insect that looks like a twig! It can blend in with plants to hide from predators. These insects are fun to find because they can be very long and thin.
Hábitat: Forests
The Southern Two-striped Walkingstick has a stout, cylindrical body, typically brown or gray, sometimes greenish. It features two prominent dark stripes running down its back. Its textured body camouflages it perfectly amongst twigs and bark, making it distinct from slender walkingsticks.
