Phyllium are known to feed on various tropical tree leaves including, Guava, Mango, and Bramble (Rubus sp.).

Given their incredible camouflage, it is challenging to find these individuals in the wild, however successful efforts have been made through blacklight trapping.

Named to honor, collections manager of the Montreal Insectarium, Stéphane Le Tirant.

Le Tirant, is a prominent entomologist specializing in scarab beetles but who also has always had a passion for walking leafs.

As a result of his travels and insect collection, valuable entomological research and discovery are made possible.
