A bright blue stick insect! Stick insects are masters of camouflage, right? Well, our biologists just described a new species that didn't read the manual! #NatureIsTheGreatestShow
Why the wings are so blue and in-your-face remains a mystery for now. Possibly it signals to predators "I'm not tasty!". Indeed, these stick insects secrete a repellent substance.
It is even more fascinating: there are two types of females within this species Calvisia khlongsokana. One with blue wings and one with pale wings. This is not unusual in nature: two different types could increase the chances of survival when conditions suddenly change.
Together with colleagues our taxonomist Jérôme Constant and 'citizen scientist' Joachim Bresseel described this blue stick insect from Thailand and Myanmar. They regularly travel to Southeast Asia to find new species. It's an insect heaven that slowly reveals its secrets.
[Watch the mini documentary we made about their work]

Clay Arts Alert.
This is the idea... make a series of large fired vases based on stick bug egg cases. Just look at them!
This would be SUCH an amazing exhibition.
Every bug nerd on the planet will covet your vases.
Nature provides free ip!
(with my luck someone *will* do this & I'd never be able to afford one LMAO)

Did you know, that stick insects have two glands that can spray a toxic chemical to ward off predators if threatened, however they only use this if absolutely necessary as they are extremely tame and friendly. Stick insects can spray this chemical up to around 2 to 3 feet.
Stick insects are incredibly docile to humans and do not intend on biting, stinging or spraying unless they feel very threatened.
