VIETNAMESE WALKING STICK

CHARACTERISTICS: It can measure between 10-12cm and we can find brown, green and bi-coloured specimen. This species in particular is totally wingless and the larger specimens may present some small protuberances on the body which look like warts.
DIET: Soft leaves.
REPRODUCTION: The females reproduce by parthenogenesis, in other words, they create fertile eggs without needing to be fertilised by a male. These eggs, in turn, will bring into the world another generation of fertile females who will reproduce the same although, now and then, a generation of males is produced capable of mating and fertilising, leading to a generation in which the majority of the specimens are males.
CURIOSITIES: Their habits are nocturnal and their movements just sufficient find food, remaining totally immobile while there is light.
