Goliath Stick Insect EURYCNEMA GOLIATH – in entomologist’s display box
PUIN074
The Goliath stick insect, or EURYCNEMA GOLIATH, is one of the largest insects in the world. The female, shown here, can reach up to 27 cm with wings fully spread. Native to the eastern coast of Australia, it lives mostly among the foliage of acacia and eucalyptus trees.
Though nocturnal, it does not hide during the day. Instead, it simply remains motionless where the night left it—a straightforward but effective strategy, relying on remarkably accurate plant mimicry.
Adult specimens can live up to seven months — a remarkable lifespan for an insect of this size.
This one is pinned according to entomological standards, in a museum-inspired display box
