wandelende takken (Phasmatodea)

Many species of phasmids are parthenogenic, meaning the females lay eggs without needing to mate with males to produce offspring. Stick insect species that are the product of hybridisation are usually obligate parthenogens,^[11] but non-hybrids are facultative parthenogens, meaning they retain the ability to mate and are bisexual depending on the presence and abundance of males.^[12] Eggs from virgin mothers are entirely female and exact copies of their mothers. weetje : de grootste ooit gevonden was 357mm
