Phasmids (Phasmatodea) are a type of insects whose members are variously known as stick insects, stick-bugs, walking sticks, stick animals, or bug sticks. They are found on all continents except Antarctica. The greatest diversity is found in Southeast Asia and South America, followed by Australia, Central America, and the southern United States. They are herbivorous, with many species living unobtrusively in the tree canopy. Most phasmids are known for effectively replicating the forms of sticks and leaves, and the bodies of some species as camouflage.
They can vary greatly in size, with females typically growing larger than males of the same species. The smallest species is Cristina's timema which is about 3/4 of an inch (2 cm) in length while the largest, Phryganistria chinensis, is 25 inches (64 cm) in total length. Some phasmids have cylindrical stick-like shapes, while others have flattened, leaflike shapes. Most species are wingless, or have reduced wings. Stick insects are often kept in captivity with almost 300 species have been reared in laboratories or as pets.
This set includes a good variety of Plasmids found throughout the world from the most common type, the Indian or Common Stick Insect to the rarest Phasmid, the Lord Howe Island Stick Insect. The Nature’s Wonders Phasmids set comes in both Poser and DAZ Studio native versions and support Firefly, 3Delight, Superfly and Iray render engines.
