discovered living in the Philippines by scientists.The stick insect is
wingless, lives on the ground rather than in trees, and is spectacularly
coloured, having a green-blue head and orange body.The insect also vents a
foul-smelling spray to deter predators.The stick insect is so unique that
scientists have given it its own genus and do not yet know its relationship to
other stick and leaf insects.read rest see pics here:
