Touch-me-not Stick Insect (E. nolimetangere)

Epidares nolimetangere. What a perfect name for a beast that gives a whole new meaning to the term "stick insect"... (adult male, Padawan area, SW Sarawak, Borneo)

I think its cute. Instead of a sea urchin, it could be some kind of land urchin.

I'm surprised there's not more hard-shelled insects like that. Very cool.
