Small Cigar Stick Insect Orestes mouhotii

The Small Cigar Stick Insect is named after the short, rounded shape and brown colour of the female, which reaches 45-55mm long; the thinner male reaches 35-40mm. They have short legs for stick insects, are well-camouflaged on tree branches and are native to forests of Thailand, the Malay peninsula, Sumatra and IndoChina. Males are rare and females can reproduce asexually (parthenogenically) laying female clones.
