Orestes draegeri is a species of stick insects in the subfamily Dataminae and tribe Datamini.

The three pairs of occipital spines are designed as follows: The anterior supra-antennals are recognizable spinose and slightly pointed outwards.

The vertex is significantly enlarged, blunt and laterally compressed with the anterior coronals, which creates conspicuous, ear-like horns (auricles).

Posterior and lateral coronals are recognizable as small pointed tubercles that form a crown with the tip of the postocular carina located behind the eye, a distinct edge.

On the back of the ninth tergite there is a clearly elongated, strongly roof-like ridge in the center.

[2] The species was found by Joachim Bresseel and Jérôme Constant in 2012 in the seasonal tropical forests in the Vietnamese provinces Lâm Đồng and Đồng Nai and here in the Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve, which includes Cát Tiên National Park (type locality).

The breeding stock goes back to the animals collected by Bresseel and Constant in Đồng Nai, which were successfully reproduced by Rob Krijns.

[4] According to more recent studies, at least one of the stocks originally kept as Orestes mouhotii with PSG number 192 from Thailand and West Malaysia can be assigned to this species.
