  1. I checked with my friends who are more familiar with Phasmids from South America, this is possibly from the genus of Planudes or Isagoras. Both genera are from the family of Pseudophasmatidae. There are not enough close-up details from both your pics to determine which genus as both genus are quite similar. Posted 7 years ago
    1. Having the genus is already very valuable, thanks a lot for checking! Posted 7 years ago
  2. The detail at the end of the abdomen is amazing. It really does look like rotting wood! Posted 7 years ago
