Discover nature's masters of camouflage with this wholesale lot of Phyllium celebicum - the remarkable giant leaf insect from Southeast Asia. This pack of 10 A1 quality unmounted specimens (90-100mm) with wings spread offers exceptional value for collectors, framers, educators, and retailers seeking the extraordinary leaf mimicry that makes these insects among evolution's most impressive examples of adaptive camouflage.
Giant leaf insects (Phyllium celebicum) are masters of disguise - their flattened bodies, leaf-like wings, and even vein patterns perfectly mimic the leaves they live among. The green colouration, irregular edges, and subtle brown markings create such convincing camouflage that predators often pass right by them. This remarkable adaptation represents millions of years of evolutionary refinement and demonstrates nature's extraordinary creativity.
These wholesale leaf insect specimens are ideal for diverse uses. Create stunning educational displays demonstrating camouflage and mimicry, stock your retail shop or gallery with unique natural history items, frame for natural history art showcasing evolutionary adaptation, use in biology and entomology teaching collections, incorporate into museum exhibits about tropical biodiversity, add to insect reference collections, or use for scientific photography and illustration.
Your wholesale pack includes 10 giant leaf insects (Phyllium celebicum) from Thailand, each measuring 90-100mm in length with wings spread. Specimens arrive dry-preserved and unmounted, ready for framing or display. Expect vibrant green colouration (may include some brown tones), leaf-like body structure, and the characteristic flattened appearance that makes these insects so remarkable.
Unlike papered specimens that require relaxing and spreading, these leaf insects arrive with wings already spread in display position. This saves time and effort, making them perfect for immediate framing or mounting. The spread wings reveal the full leaf-like appearance and intricate details that make these insects so captivating and educationally valuable.
Leaf insects (Phylliidae family) are found in tropical forests across Southeast Asia and Australia. They're herbivorous, feeding on leaves while perfectly camouflaged among them. Females are larger and more leaf-like than males, and they reproduce through parthenogenesis (females can produce offspring without males). Their swaying movement mimics leaves blowing in the breeze - camouflage in motion that completes the illusion.
Giant leaf insects offer exceptional educational value for teaching about camouflage strategies, evolutionary adaptation, mimicry in nature, insect morphology and diversity, tropical forest ecosystems, sexual dimorphism, and the incredible variety of survival strategies insects have evolved. They're perfect for schools, colleges, youth clubs, and nature education programmes.
All our leaf insect specimens are ethically sourced from sustainable collecting programmes in rural Thailand. These initiatives support local communities while protecting forest habitats. We work directly with collectors who follow responsible practices, ensuring wild populations remain healthy.
Each specimen is graded A1 for quality, meaning excellent condition with vibrant green colouration, intact wings and legs, and good overall preservation. These are collectors-quality leaf insects suitable for professional displays, retail sale, or educational use. Minor variations in size and colouration are natural and add to the uniqueness of each specimen.
By showcasing these remarkable insects in educational settings, we help people appreciate the incredible biodiversity of tropical forests and the importance of conservation. Each specimen becomes an ambassador for its species and the ecosystems they inhabit, inspiring wonder and environmental stewardship in students and nature enthusiasts.
