Delighted to encounter this Singaporoidea meneptolemus, a Stick Insect (order Phasmida) while walking at MacRitchie Reservoir on 18 April 2023. Stick insects are, of course, a master of disguise and are usually hard to spot among all the foliage.

Actually, after some closer observation, I think one may be A prasina. It’s got little spikes, the other big one doesn’t. How cool! I wish I could find a decent online classification guide.

I have never seen so many Stick Insects at one time,…is there a convention on?! Very well disguised in the flax. How many can you count? (Zoom in on flax leaves!)

I’m digging the derpy faces of the stick insects at our local invert centre.

A nice feature article on a Singapore amanteur naturalist who has published several books on the region's stick insects. And he's also a full-time colorectal surgeon.

A Stick Insect (order Phasmida) spotted at Upper Seletar Reservoir Park, Singapore, on 16 May 2021. I was lucky to spot it: I was looking at a butterfly perched on a lower leaf which took off. My eyes followed it upwards briefly, and then settled on the stick insect, quietly standing there hoping I wouldn't see it. 🙂
