Walkingsticks
Scientific name: Diapheromera
Description
The Diapheromera genus, often found clinging to tree trunks, exemplifies remarkable mimicry, camouflaging seamlessly as twigs to evade predators. Contrary to common perceptions, they are harmless to humans. Their defense mechanism isn't aggression but an exquisite adaption to blend into their arboreal environments. Intriguingly, these insects display sexual dimorphism; females are typically larger and more robust than males.
