Carausius morosus
Carausius morosus (the 'common', 'Indian' or 'laboratory' stick insect) is a species of Phasmatodea (phasmid) often kept as pets. Culture stocks originate from a collection from Tamil Nadu, India. Like the majority of the Phasmatodea, C. morosus are nocturnal. Culture stocks are parthenogenetic females that can reproduce without mating. Only 1 in 1000 are male, and although in captivity, gynandromorphs (individuals with both female and male characteristics) are sometimes reared.
