Jungle Nymph (Female)

Jungle Nymph (Heteropteryx dilatata)

The Jungle Nymph is a giant stick insect native to the tropical rainforests of Malaysia and Southeast Asia. Females are bright green, heavily built, and can reach up to 6 inches long, while males are smaller and brown. Their leaf-like appearance provides excellent camouflage, and their legs feature impressive defensive spines. Despite their intimidating appearance, they are harmless herbivores that feed primarily on leaves.
