Flashed by a kickboxing Goliath Stick Insect

These guys – with a scientific name of Clemacantha goliath – are usually high up in trees so you don't get to see them very often in the wild. This is only the second one I've ever seen! They're also very big. This lady is about 20 cm long. If you think that's big, Australia's largest stick insect is twice that size!

I was impressed by her dual defense mechanisms of flashing her groin at me and kicking with a back leg. Also love that she appears to be wearing underpants, just like a superhero!
