Phasmid is the amazing true story of the Lord Howe Island Phasmid, or Stick Insect. Believed to be extinct for nearly 80 years, the phasmids were rediscovered on Balls Pyramid, a volcanic outcrop 23 kilometres off the coast of Lord Howe Island, Australia. News of their unbelievable survival made headlines around the world and prompted an extraordinary conservation effort to save this remarkable invertebrate. This wonderful tale captures the life of one of the world's most critically endangered invertebrates, from beginning life as an egg to surviving harsh environments and the hopeful return to their homeland, Lord Howe Island. With a captivating narrative by Rohan Cleave, invertebrate zookeeper at Melbourne Zoo, and stunning watercolour illustrations by renowned artist Coral Tulloch, Phasmid is a positive story about one species' incredible survival in a time of worldwide species decline. Phasmid is ideal for parents and young readers (aged 4-7).

When a ship ran aground more than 60 years ago on beautiful Lord Howe Island in the south-west Pacific rats escaped and attacked the unique Lord Howe Island stick insect, also known as a "land lobster." But more than 40 years later a minute colony was amazingly discovered on Balls Pyramid, a barren 500 metre tall pinnacle of rock just 23 km away from the island. This is the story of how Australian scientists and environmentalists have worked to save it from extinction and, possibly, return it to its original environment.

Excerpt from Synopsis of the Species of Insects Belonging to the Family of Phasmidae Having been recently led to study the singular and interesting family of Orthopterous Insects, termed Phasmidae, in order to elucidate the characters of the sixteen species described in the first part of my 'Entomology of Australia, ' I have been induced to arrange the materials collected for that purpose in the form of an Essay, the object of which is to present a complete list of all the recorded insects belonging to the family, and to embrace at the same time descriptions of a considerable number of new forms which have fallen under my observation. The result of my researches may form a not uninteresting addition to the small stock of knowledge at present possessed by entomologists with regard to this striking but neglected group. Of the extent of this knowledge, and its gradual development, some idea may be formed from the following outline of what has been written upon the subject since the days of Linnaeus, who first placed these insects in the genus Gryllus, but afterwards removed them to that of Mantis. In this latter mode of arrangement he was followed by Gmelin, and by Fabricius in his earlier publications; but in the year 1787, Stoll, in his 'Representations exactement coloriees dapres Nature des Spectres, ' &c, proposed to form the Spectres into a distinct family (genus) from Mantis. To this genus, in the commencement of his work, he gave the name of Spectrum: at the end, however, he gave a list of the species figured by him from various Dutch collections, and amounting in number to 27, with Latin specific names, to which he prefixed the generic appellation of Phasma. He divided the genus thus formed into two families, characterized as follows: "1.Les pieds anterieurs plus longs que les posterieurs; le corps tout a fait cylindrique. "2.Le corps plat; les pieds anterieurs plus courts que les posterieurs. Dans quelques especes les femellesont les etuis aussi longs que les ailes.

Australia has a rich diversity of phasmids – otherwise known as stick and leaf insects. Most of them are endemic, few have been studied and new species continue to be found. Stick insects are, by far, Australia’s longest insects – some of them reach up to 300 mm in body length, or more than half a metre if you include their outstretched legs. Many stick insects are very colourful, and some have quite elaborate, defensive behaviour. Increasingly they are being kept as pets. This is the first book on Australian phasmids for nearly 200 years and covers all known stick and leaf insects. It includes photographs of all species, notes on their ecology and biology as well as identification keys suitable for novices or professionals.
