Didymuria violescens, the spur legged phasmid, also known as the violet-winged stick insect, or violet-winged phasma, is a common phasmid native to Australia.

This specific type of stick insect eats Gum (Eucalyptus) leaves, female lay very many eggs as there is a low chance of live hatching from the egg.

The female produces eggs that can bear young even if the eggs are not fertilized, though those hatch-lings are only female.

Newly hatched stick/leaf insects are called nymphs until their final (5th-7th) molt.
