Black Beauty Insect

This Peruvian stick insect ranks as one of the most unusual and distinctive species available to hobbyists today, and has become one of the most widely-kept of the South American phasmids.

The black beauty stick insect s known to exist only in a tiny area of 12 acres in the Cordillera del Condor region of northern Peru. Its highly distinctive and attractive appearance, with its velvety-black body, has helped to ensure its popularity. Its eyes are yellow, but perhaps the most unusual feature of this species is its non-functional wings. (Source)
