Spiny Stick Insect, Phasmid - Female

Obrimus sp

Description:

Female Sub-Adult of a Spiny Stick insect, around 9cm in size, they can grow up to 15 cm in size for Female. This specimen is an Obrimus, not exactly sure which specie, could be Obrimus uichancoi. Obrimus uichancoi was described from only one female specimen from Baguio which I also found in Banaue. However, the size of adult female Obrimus uichancoi is smaller than this particular Obrimus

Habitat:

Tropical forest

Notes:

The picture shows a newly molted Phasmid eating her old skin.
