TREE LOBSTER


Dryococelus australis The Lord Howe island stick insect or Tree Lobster is a small, black, flightless insect (note that the image above shows a preserved specimen.) They were once believed to be extinct on Lord Howe island. Later it was rediscovered. There are only about 25 and they all live on a tiny rock called ​Ball's Pyramid in the middle of the Pacific ocean. When they are born, they hatch out of small brown eggs with apparent "lids" and are born bright green.
