Over 40 species of Phasmid have been named after members of the group.

Some species of phasmid are able to produce a defensive spray when threatened.

So we shall disguise the Surprise and, like the phasmid, swallow the Acheron.

Carausius proximus is a species of phasmid.

If there isn't enough moisture, the phasmid could have trouble moulting (braking through its old skin) and could possibly die.

Bacillus atticus atticus is a species of phasmid which lives only in Greece.

It was first described by George Robert Gray in 1832, which was his first phasmid he discovered.

Phasmid may refer to:

Here, following the Phasmid Study Group, nine subfamilies are recognized in the Phasmatidae.

A phagemid or phasmid is a plasmid that contains an f1 origin of replication from a f1 phage.

The cage should be well ventilated A damp cloth at the bottom of the cage is recommended in order to keep moisture in the phasmid's surroundings.

The Lord Howe Island stick insect (Dryococelus australis), is a phasmid which is sometimes called a land lobster.

Most of the privet feeders on the Phasmid Study Group's culture list belong to the family Pseudophasmatidae and are from South America.

Carausius morosus (the 'common', 'Indian' or 'laboratory' stick insect) is a species of Phasmatodea (phasmid) that is often kept by schools and individuals as pets.

The spur legged phasmid, Didymuria violescens, is a common phasmid in Australia.

Similarly the threat display of the walking stick phasmid Peruphasma schultei is not a bluff: the insect sprays defensive dolichodial-like monoterpene chemical compounds at attackers.

The Tessulata stick insect or Tesselated Phasmid is a not very large but common species of stick insect found in the Brisbane area of Australia.

Maturin goes ashore on the Galapagos with Midshipman Blakeney and finds a phasmid - an insect that disguises itself to resemble a twig so as not to alarm its unsuspecting prey or become the prey of another predator.

However, after observing the camouflage ability of one of Maturin's specimens - a phasmid (stick insect) - Aubrey disguises Surprise as a whaling ship; he hopes the French would move close to capture the valuable ship rather than destroy it.

This triggered a second wave of extinctions, including the Vinous-tinted Thrush, Robust White-eye, Lord Howe Starling, Lord Howe Fantail and the Lord Howe Gerygone as well as the destruction of the native phasmid and decimation of palm fruits.

Phasmid neurons were recently shown to function in modulation of chemorepulsion behavior.

The ants take the egg into their nest underground and can remove the capitulum to feed to their larvae without harming the phasmid embryo.

The vast majority of phasmid specimens in the Sarawak Museum in Kuching were collected during Shelford's time as curator, this is probably also the case for the majority of insect groups in the collection.

The spur legged phasmid Didymuria violescens,, Podacanthus wilkinsoni and Ctenomorphodes tessulatus in Australia, the walkingstick Diapheromera femorata in North America and G. crouani in coconut plantations in the South Pacific all occur in outbreaks of economic importance.

Notable are the Giant Coconut Grasshopper (Pseudophyllanax imperialis) and other endemic insects including an ant (Cerapachys cohici), a cicada Kanakia typica, a damselfly Caledopteryx maculata a longhorned beetle Buprestomorpha montrouzieri, a phasmid Gigantophasma bicolor and a leafcutting bee Eutricharaea australis.
