Synopsis:
Stick insects have taken being cryptic to the extreme with their many stick-like disguises. Here in southeast Asia they are particularly diverse to reflect the plants they mimic, but this is only part of their amazing life history. Aside from mimicking motionless sticks, stick insects also have an incredible array of behavioural traits that they deploy together with specific colouration strategies in order to avoid predation. This presentation will share our work uncovering the behaviours of the charismatic, yet largely neglected, leaf and stick insects.
