Achrioptera Manga FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Are Achrioptera manga dangerous?
This stick insect may look quite dangerous. Plus, they are brightly colored, which makes them look potentially poisonous. However, humans have nothing to fear from this insect. They remain completely harmless, just like any other stick insect.
Their bright coloration probably signals their mating capacity. In this way, this insect species gets its color for the same reason a peacock does. By being brightly colorful, the insect signals to potential mates that they don’t have to hide.

Are Achrioptera manga helpful or harmful?
We don’t know much about how these insects interact with their environment. However, they likely consume massive amounts of leaves, just like other stick insects. For this reason, scientists expect that they are a dominant light gap producer.These light gaps provide light to smaller plants below and encourage new plants to grow. Therefore, this insect likely plays a crucial role in their forest.

Can I hold an Achrioptera manga?
If you could find one, you could hold one of these bugs without a significant problem. Scientists haven’t found these bugs to be poisonous or harmful. Therefore, you could hold one without worrying about getting hurt.
However, these bugs are extremely fragile. They can regrow their limbs, so their extremities don’t tend to be as durable as other animals.
