Phaenopharos Struthioneus Stick Insect duo Framed Specimen

Malaysia and Sumatra have a way of producing insects that look like they were designed by someone with a flair for drama. The Phaenopharos struthioneus, better known as the red-winged stick insect, is exactly that kind of creature, all impossible camouflage until the moment it isn't.

This framed duo showcases both male and female specimens, and the sexual dimorphism alone is worth the price of admission. At rest they're indistinguishable from a tangle of dead wood. Flash those small, stubby red wings in a threat display and suddenly you understand why predators reconsider. It's the kind of dark aesthetic that nature perfected long before gothic fashion got there. Bugs & Bits sources and presents these specimens with genuine care, and this is the sort of thing that belongs on the wall of anyone who takes their macabre interior game seriously.

Each specimen is professionally set and mounted behind glass in a display frame. Framed dimensions and exact frame style may vary slightly between pieces. As with all real insect specimens, each one is unique.
