Description
The Anisomorpha genus, often mistaken as simple walking sticks, showcases an intriguing defensive mechanism. When threatened, they emit a chemical spray from glands located behind their head, targeting their attacker. This secretion can cause significant discomfort and even temporary blindness if it reaches the eyes of predators, including humans. While they appear harmless and blend seamlessly into their surroundings, this ability underlines the sophistication of their survival strategies in the wild.
