Description

Milledge's Stick Insect
Identified as Scionecra milledgei on Bowerbird by Matthew Connors: "This lovely male represents a small but significant range extension for the species - previously they had only been found in Paluma, approximately 75 km NW (although so far he is still the only individual I have found). He was kept in captivity for a few days to confirm the ID and observe foodplant preferences (he accepted a variety of eucalypts), and changed colour quite markedly over those few days."
