Goliath Stick Insects (Eurycnema goliath) are among Australia's largest and most impressive stick insect species. Renowned for their substantial size, striking appearance and fascinating behaviour, these remarkable insects make an outstanding display species for insect enthusiasts, schools and educational collections.
Native to northern Australia, Goliath Stick Insects are powerful climbers that spend much of their time resting among branches and foliage. Their elongated bodies and natural camouflage help them blend into their environment, making them a fascinating species to observe.
Despite their impressive size, Goliath Stick Insects are generally easy to care for when provided with a suitable enclosure, ventilation and fresh food plants. Their unique appearance and relatively straightforward husbandry requirements make them popular with both beginner and experienced invertebrate keepers.
As they grow, Goliath Stick Insects undergo a series of moults before reaching adulthood. Mature females are typically larger and heavier, while males are generally smaller and more slender.
