Phasma gigas, real framed specimen, giant stick insectPhasma gigas is a gigantic species of stick insect, originating from Papua New Guinea. I used to breed this species some years ago and the huge females are able to lay eggs without a mate. The markings vary but the wings always show a pattern of brown and orange and forewings often have lichen camouflage patches.
