Description:

Peppermint stick insect nymph / baby

Habitat:

This nymph was found on a Pandanus tectorius, screw pine / spiral pandanus on the Kulki walk at Cape Tribulation, World Heritage Site in Daintree National Park, Tropical Far North Queensland, Australia.

Notes:

We made a 50 second movie of this peppermint stick insect nymph and put it on YouTube at

You can watch it briefly running on Ambrose's hand. Yes, of course he put it back on the pandanus afterwards!
