Megacrania batesii, commonly known as the peppermint stick insect, is an unusual species of stick insect found in northeastern Australia, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, and possibly as far north as the Philippines. It is notable for its aposematic coloration, as well as its robust chemical defense mechanism. Its common name refers to the irritating fluid — with an odor resembling peppermint — that it sprays as a defensive action from a pair of glands located at its prothorax when threatened, as well as the cylindrical, twig-like shape of its body. A member of the subfamily Megacraniinae, it was first described by English naturalist and explorer Henry Walter Bates in 1865.

  • El insecto palo de menta piperita (Megacrania batesii) es una especie de insecto palo de color verde-azulado que sólo vive en la nervadura central de las hojas de Pandanus tectorius. Si se le molesta durante el día, emite una sustancia lechosa con un olor parecido a la menta piperina. No usan sus patas traseras para su locomoción. La especie se puede encontrar en Queensland, al igual que en varias islas en el océano Pacífico, por ejemplo las islas Salomón, las isla de Ambon, Nueva Guinea, las Nuevas Hébridas y las Filipinas.
