ScienceEarth.comTwo new species of large stick insects discovered in well-studied regions of Australia
University of Sydney researchers discovered two new giant stick insect species in Australia, including one with never-before-seen egg structures.
Australian scientists discovered two new giant stick insect species and fixed an old mix-up with a third.
Researchers at the University of Sydney identified two new large stick insect species and corrected a long-standing misidentification of a third.
One new species, Anchiale mabiensis, lives in Queensland's critically endangered Mabi rainforest and has eggs with a structural lid never recorded in the entire stick insect order.
The discovery, aided by over 1,000 citizen science observations, shows Australia's insect diversity is still far from fully understood.
