(From Wikipedia) The Phasmatodea (also known as Phasmida, Phasmatoptera or Spectra) are an order of insects whose members are variously known as stick insects, stick-bugs, walkingsticks, stick animals, or bug sticks.

FACT: The various phantasmal and spectrally-themed names of this order have to do with their highly-specialized camouflage, making them appear invisible at times!
