Conlephasma enigma is a wingless, ground-dwelling species of stick insect in the monotypic genus Conlephasma, and is found on Mount Halcon, on the Philippine island of Mindoro.
[1] The species is brightly coloured, with males having a dark bluish-green head and legs, and a bright orange body with bluish-black triangle-shaped spots on the back.
[1] It sprays a foul-smelling liquid, from glands behind its head, to repel predators.
[1] The species was identified when entomologist Oskar Conle showed Marco Gottardo and Philipp Heller specimens which had been collected some years earlier.
[1] They identified it as new to science and allocated it to a new genus[1] in a paper published in Comptes Rendus Biologies.
