(Parapachymorpha zomproi)
Thai stick insects are very slender and, when fully grown, will have a bark-like texture to their body which helps them to camouflage. The females are slightly larger than the males at about 9cm in length while the males reach about 7cm. This species is unable to fly as they do not have wings.
Thai stick insects are native to the forests of Thailand in South-east Asia. They are particularly abundant in Khao Yai National Park.
These stick insects are herbivores and feed on a range of different leaves in their natural habitat. In captivity they will feed on plants such as bramble and hawthorn.
Thai stick insects will live for about 1 year.
Least concern.
When threatened, Thai stick insects will ‘play dead’ by dropping to the
ground and staying completely still until the danger has passed.
They are a very docile species of stick insect.
Thai stick insects usually take 6 or 7 moults from hatching to reaching
their full adult size.
