Peppermint stick insects (Megacrania batesii) are large, wingless phasmids known for their striking green coloration and their unique chemical defense. When threatened, they spray a peppermint-scented fluid from glands near their head that can irritate predators’ eyes and deter attacks. They are primarily found in northern Australia, especially along tropical and subtropical coastlines, where they live on pandanus plants and other coastal foliage. #bugtok #insects #stickinsect | Mctulipsonburg

Yum! Here's a Peppermint Stick Insect chowing down, filmed in time-lapse. Stick insects are leaf eaters and eat just like caterpillars do - from the edge inwards. They can't bite us, but have powerful little mandibles to make short work of tough leaves. The various species of stick insects eat different plants. Some eat a variety of plants and some specialise in just one food plant. Peppermint Stick Insects just eat Pandanus plants which have touch spiny strap-like leaves. ▪️ @minibeastwildlife
