This is an adult pair of Peruphasma schultei

This is an adult pair of Peruphasma schultei stick insects, the male riding on the females back. They have the most amazing yellow eyes and small vestigial red wings which they often raise off their body as part of a defence strategy if they feel threatened as they look like big red eyes .... cool insects and easy to keep feeding on privet. #stickinsectsofinstagram #stickinsect #insects #insect #insectsofinstagram #bug #bugs #peruphasmaschultei
