Megacrania batesii (original) (raw)
Megacrania batesii (PSG: 306) is een wandelende tak die voorkomt in Queensland en verschillende eilanden in de Stille Oceaan. Deze wandelende tak is blauwgroen gekleurd. Bij gevaar scheidt het een melkachtige stof af die ruikt naar pepermunt. Ze eten uitsluitend de bladeren van de geurende schroefpalm.

| dbo:abstract | El insecto palo de menta piperita (Megacrania batesii) es una especie de insecto palo de color verde-azulado que sólo vive en la nervadura central de las hojas de Pandanus tectorius. Si se le molesta durante el día, emite una sustancia lechosa con un olor parecido a la menta piperina. No usan sus patas traseras para su locomoción. La especie se puede encontrar en Queensland, al igual que en varias islas en el océano Pacífico, por ejemplo las islas Salomón, las isla de Ambon, Nueva Guinea, las Nuevas Hébridas y las Filipinas. Otra especie de Megacrania, M. alpheus, podría ser incluida en M. batesii. (es) Megacrania batesii, commonly known as the peppermint stick insect, is an unusual species of stick insect found in northeastern Australia, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and possibly as far north as the Philippines. It is notable for its aposematic coloration, as well as its robust chemical defense mechanism. Its common name refers to the irritating fluid — with an odor resembling peppermint — that it sprays as a defensive action from a pair of glands located at its prothorax when threatened, as well as the cylindrical, twig-like shape of its body. A member of the subfamily Megacraniinae, it was first described by English naturalist and explorer Henry Walter Bates in 1865. Within their distribution, the habitat of these large insects occurs in complex mesophyll vine forests (lowland tropical and subtropical rainforests), at the transition area between the forest and the beach. They can be found in small numbers in such places, resting on the upper surfaces of the pandanus leaves upon which they feed. Some of the isolated subpopulations of this species in northern Queensland are at risk for local extinction as a result of natural or anthropogenic hazards. This species appears to reproduce primarily by parthenogenesis, although sexual reproduction has also been observed. Predators of this insect include spiders, centipedes, green tree ants, mantises, katydids, and some birds. At least one species of parasitoid wasp has been observed to lay their eggs in the eggs of M. batesii.
