  God of Insects - Museum: Phasmatodea (=Phasmatoidea)
Phasmatodea is the ordinal name given to the walkingsticks (stick insects) and the walkingleaves (leaf insects).
Another interesting habit of the Phasmatodea is their ability to reproduce parthenogeneticly; that is, females clone themselves.
Because sticks are different than leaves, the Phasmatodea are broken down into two families: the Phyllidae (walkingleaves AKA leaf insects) and the Phasmidae (=Phasmatidae) (walkingsticks AKA stick insects).

Phasmatodea have been reported from the following states: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas, Luisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Kentucky und Virginia.
Countries and islands with confirmed records of Phasmatodea in mediterranean Europe are: Portugal, Spain, the Baleares, France, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy, Sizily, Jugoslavia, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Crete, Cyprus, Syria, Israel, Egypt, Lybia, Tunesia, Algeria und Marocco.

The research associates of the ZSM Oskar Conle und Frank Hennemann are currently investigating the taxonomy and systematics of Phasmatodea (stick insects).
Their bilingual website on Phasmatodea is the most comprehensive one of the world.

 Building a tree of sticks: Phylogeny and evolution of Phasmatodea   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
While the monophyly of the order Phasmatodea (stick and leaf insects) and its placement among the remaining insect orders is well supported, many aspects of phasmid phylogeny and evolution remain controversial.
The basal diversification of Phasmatodea is investigated to specifically identify the basal most lineage of Euphasmatodea and to test the phasmid loss and recovery of wings hypothesis.
These analyses suggest that 1) a clade comprising mostly Diapheromerine taxa form the basal most lineage of Euphasmatodea, 2) the phasmid wing recurrence hypothesis is supported, and 3) there are multiple independent origins of phasmid egg laying strategies.

 Discover Life - Phasmatodea
The name Phasmatodea, derived from the Greek "phasm" meaning phantom, refers to the cryptic appearance and behavior of these insects.
Common in tropical and subtropical climates where they are found living on their host plants.
Pigment granules in the epidermis disperse at night or on cool days, darkening the cuticle and absorbing more heat.

 Order Phasmatodea - Introduction Text
This project is designed to provide a comprehensive archive of information on the systematics and morphology of the insects belonging to the Order Phasmatodea.
At first, the systematic portion will consist primarily of the material from my thesis on the West Indian phasmatids [Moxey, 1972], with some additional observations that I made through 1977.
But, still, every so often, as I do with bonsai, I return with fond affection to the phasmatids, and these pages are my latest homage.
