It is known for its remarkable size and appearance.\nKey characteristics of Nesiophasma giganteum include:\nSize: As the name suggests, these stick insects are exceptionally large. Adult females can reach lengths of up to 24 inches (60 centimetres), while males are slightly smaller.\nColouration: They typically have a brownish or greenish colouration, which helps them blend into their natural habitat.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBody Shape: Like other stick insects, they have a long, slender body with legs adapted for walking and climbing. They have excellent camouflage abilities, resembling twigs or branches.\nLifestyle: Nesiophasma giganteum is a primarily nocturnal species, becoming more active at night. During the day, they often remain still, relying on their camouflage to avoid predators.\nDiet: These stick insects are herbivorous and primarily feed on the leaves of various plants, including those found in their native New Caledonian habitat.\nReproduction: The reproductive behaviour of Nesiophasma giganteum includes females laying eggs, which are often large and resemble seeds. The nymphs hatch from these eggs and go through several moults as they grow.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese large stick insects are fascinating creatures known for their impressive size and unique appearance, making them a subject of interest for entomologists and insect enthusiasts.\nThey are ethically sourced by our farmers in West Java, Indonesia.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease Be Aware: The specimen that you will receive may differ in size, shape or colour very slightly since you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
