Suborders Anareolatae Areolatae Verophasmatodea is a suborder of the Phasmatodea that contains the vast majority of the extant species of stick and leaf-insects. ...
| The Phasmatodea are an order of insects, whose members are variously known as stick insects (Europe), walking sticks (in the Unites States of America), ghost insects[citation needed] and leaf insects. The name is derived from the Greek "phasma" meaning an apparition or phantom, and refers to the resemblance of many species to sticks or leaves. Some species (e.g. Anisomorpha) are capable of secreting a substance from glands on the meta-thorax that can causes an intense burning irritation of the eyes (and in some cases temporary blindness) and mouth of potential predators on contact. Orders See taxonomy Insects (Class Insecta) are a major group of arthropods and the most diverse group of animals on the Earth, with over a million described species — more than all other animal groups combined [1]. Insects may be found in nearly all environments on the planet, although only a...
Taxonomy
The Phasmatodea were considered a suborder of Orthoptera, although most authors now consider them to form an order of their own. There is much confusion over the ordinal name, with Phasmida being preferred by many authors, although it is incorrectly formed. Phasmatodea is correctly formed, and is gaining in popularity. Cheleutoptera is now considered outdated. Suborders and families Suborder Ensifera - crickets Superfamily Gryllacroidea Gryllacrididae - camel crikets Rhaphidophoridae - cave crickets Schizodactylidae - dune crickets Stenopelmatidae - king crickets Superfamily Grylloidea Gryllidae - true crickets Gryllotalpidae - mole cricket Mogoplistidae Myrmecophilidae Superfamily Tettigonioidea Anostostomatidae - king crickets Bradyporidae - armoured crickets Haglidae Phaneropteridae Tettigoniidae - katydids, koringkrieks Suborder Caelifera - grasshoppers, locusts Superfamily Acridoidea Acrididae...
They are closely related to the orders Mantophasmatodea and Grylloblattodea. Together, they are the sister taxon of the groups sometimes united in the superorder Dictyoptera. Genera Mantophasma Raptophasma Mantophasmatodea is an order of carnivorous insects discovered in 2002, the first new insect order to be described since 1914. ...
Genera Grylloblatta Galloisiana Grylloblattodea is a small order of extremophile insects that live in the cold on top of mountains. ...
This cladogram shows the relationship among various insect groups. ...
Orders Blattaria (cockroaches) Mantodea (mantids) Dictyoptera includes two groups of insects, the Blattaria (cockroaches) and the Mantodea (mantids, or praying mantises). ...
Species There are presently around 2,800 described species, with many more yet to be described, both in museum collections and in the wild. The order has a world-wide distribution, but most species are found in the tropics.
Stick insects as pets Many stick insects are easy to look after making them excellent first pets. The Indian (or Laboratory) stick insect, Carausius morosus, requires a tall (25cm+) vivarium (even a jar with a few holes punched in the top), some bramble, ivy, or privet and an atmosphere at room temperature. Indian stick insects are all female and reproduce by parthenogenesis and seem content living on their own. Occasionally part-male part-female individuals are reared in captivity, but never true males. Binomial name Carausius morosus Sinety, 1901 Carausius morosus (the common, Indian or laboratory stick insect) is a species of phasmid that is often kept by schools and individuals as pets. ...

Species See text Hedera (English name ivy, plural ivies) is a genus of about ten species of climbing or ground-creeping evergreen woody plants in the family Araliaceae, native to the Atlantic Islands, western, central and southern Europe, northwestern Africa and across central-southern Asia east to Japan. ...
Species See text Privet was originally the name for the European semi-evergreen shrub Ligustrum vulgare, and later also for the more reliably evergreen Ligustrum ovalifolium (Japanese privet), used extensively for privacy hedging (hence privet, private). ...

Notable species One Australian species, the Lord Howe Island stick insect, is now listed as critically endangered. It was believed extinct until its rediscovery on the rock Ball's Pyramid. There is a large effort in Australia to rear this species in captivity. Binomial name Dryococelus australis (Montrouzier, 1885) The Lord Howe Island stick insect was thought to be extinct by 1930, only to be rediscovered in 2001, this phenomenon is also known as the Lazarus effect. ...

Females of Phobaeticus serratipes are the world's longest insects, measuring up to 33 cm (13 inches) from head to tip of abdomen. Binomial name Phobaeticus serratipes (Gray), 1835 The walking-stick species Phobaeticus serratipes (formerly known as Pharnacia serratipes) is the longest known insect, with one female specimen recorded as being 555 mm long - note, however, that this includes the legs fully extended in front and in back, and the actual length...
Adult female Heteropteryx dilatata may weigh in excess of 50g, but are considerably lighter than some of the largest Coleoptera species. Binomial name Heteropteryx dilatata (Parkinson, 1798) Heteropteryx dilatata is a large member of the Phasmatodea commonly kept in captivity. ...
Classification The classification of the Phasmatodea is complex and confusing. There are many people, including many amateur entomologists, currently studying the order, and revisions are commonplace. The best source for information on the current arrangement is the Phasmida Species File which is continually updated.
