Right in the centre of the image, you'll see a stick-like insect, also known as a phasmid or ghost insect. This is their natural way of protecting themselves from predators, making it challenging for predators to spot them. In case they feel threatened and can't rely on camouflage, they have a second line of defence, like toxic secretions. These insects are found on every continent except Antarctica, but most of them reside in the tropics and subtropics. Interestingly, depending on the species, a single stick insect can lay anywhere from 100 to 1,200 eggs after mating.
