And documenting the diversity of an area like this is the first step towards managing and conserving that area. We' ve just finished our collecting and it' s been a really good day. And we' ve collected just under 70 numbers, which is really good. And we' re all really all very hungry ' cause all we had for lunch was Coco Pops without any milk, and they' re really nice but they don' t fill you up. But hungry or not, there' s no keeping Mark from his work. Well, here is one of the largest stick insects I' ve ever seen. We' ve seen a few here, but nothing quite as spectacular as this one. And the mimicry of it is incredible. If you look close up, I mean the segmentation, pseudosegmentation, of the abdomen makes it look like. Again, makes it look like a stick. The spines on here that might have some defensive function as well, but they, you know, mostly what they look like is the spiny plants we see around here. |
