Crowned Stick Insect

Onchestus rentzi

*PLEASE CALL THE STORE FOR PRICING & AVAILABILITY OF OUR STICK INSECTS*

The Crowned Stick Insect (Onchestus rentzi) is a striking Australian species known for its elaborate crown-like structure on the head, which helps it blend into foliage. Native to northern Queensland rainforests, this insect mimics twigs and leaves to avoid predators. Females are larger and flightless, while males are smaller and capable of flight. Their calm nature and unique appearance make them a fascinating species for insect enthusiasts and educational displays.
