The Stick Insect’s Remarkable Moult Stick insects regularly moult to grow, shedding their exoskeleton in a process known as ecdysis. This particular stick insect is captured mid-moult, showcasing a fascinating aspect of its lifecycle. With each moult, stick insects can regrow lost limbs, a testament to their resilience and adaptability in the wild. Even during vulnerable times like moulting, the stick insect’s resemblance to twigs and branches provides excellent camouflage against predators. 📸
