Carausius (insect)

Many; see text Dixippus Stål, 1875 Carausius[1] is a genus of the tribe Lonchodini, in the order Phasmatodea (stick and leaf insects).

The genus is in many ways typical of the Phasmatodea in that all species are twig-like in appearance.

These species are parthenogenetic.

Carausius morosus is the most commonly kept stick insect in captivity.
