The Philippines’ fourth highest mountain, Mount Halcon has always been known to host a biologically diverse wildlife. Apparently, deep in Mount Halcon’s rainforest, an incredibly unusual stick insect has been discovered. It is wingless, with a greenish blue head and an orange body. Unlike other insects, this “enigmatic” insect, appropriately named “Conlephlasma Enigma”, is living on the ground. And oh, don’t ever mess with it. It gives off a foul-smelling spray to keep off predators. Read more about it here!
I think that with all the studies made, there are still a lot of things to discover in the natural habitats. The Philippines is thriving with these things…the biodiversity is simply amazing.
