#대벌레#Ramulus mikado

📖 1. Overview

The mikado walking stick is a slender, elongated green or yellowish-brown stick insect (order Phasmida) that lives on forest trees and herbs and feeds on broad-leaved tree leaves.

🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology

Its body length is 70–100 mm, and its head is longer than the prothorax. Its thread-like antennae are very short, about half the length of the foreleg tibia.

🔍 3. Ecology & Behavior

It feeds on the leaves of broad-leaved trees such as sawtooth oak and other oaks, and adults appear from May to October. Eggs are laid on the ground to overwinter, and when attacked by a predator it sheds a leg to escape or plays dead (thanatosis).
