How about Ctenopmorpha marginipennis?

Nice find! Perhaps this is a female from genus Ctenomorpha?


I removed this spotting from the Mantis mission since stick insects are not mantids.

The Crown Stick insect is found in Northern Queensland and Northern territory and this one was found in NSW Southern highlands so I guess it's not that one Jellis

Not sure but I believe this might be the Crown Stick Insect.(Onchestus Rentzi )
