Gabriel Martin passed along this entomological clarification regarding the description accompanying one of my Behind The Curtain photographs.
“Your stick bugs are of the Carausius morosus species, originating in India. C. morosus is a Parthenogenetic species, meaning that the females reproduce without any assistance of the males. They are not Hermaphrodites. Just thought you may want to know.”
I have updated the caption to reflect this corrected information. My jar full of insects are literally ungulfed in phasmidic splendor with the cathartic handling of this previous misconception.
