Fiji Critter Profile: Stick Insects

Stick insects are common here. We often see them munching on the vegetation off the front deck. Occasionally they show up clinging to the sides of the house or in other odd locations. I think the males tend to be smaller and more colorful. The ones we’ve seen have varied in length from about 4 inches (10 cm) to 7 inches (18 cm). Despite their rather unaesthetic method of pruning the local flora, we think they are quite cool.




Sticks in love
