From extinct to 13,000 hatchlings

Once classified as extinct, the Lord Howe Island stick insect is now thriving in captive breeding – but more work is needed before they are no longer critically endangered...

NOT ONLY HAS the Lord Howe Island stick insect been brought back from the brink of extinction, there are now 13,000 new hatchlings at Melbourne Zoo – a significant milestone in the conservation of a species with a wild population of less than 40.

The stick insects are now being bred abroad to further secure their population, in the hope that one day they can be reintroduced into their native habitat on Lord Howe Island, 780km north-east of Sydney, without risking endangerment again…

Bamboo Weevil (Cyrtotrachelus longimanus, Curculionidae)

Truly an awesome creature - vividly coloured, physically strong, huge dimensions and a sight to behold in flight.
