The Phasmid Study Group (PSG) is an international community of hobbyists and amateur and professional entomologists interested in the rearing and studying of the order Phasmida - the stick insects and leaf insects (known as walkingsticks in the USA). The society publishes a quarterly Newsletter and the biannual journal Phasmid Studies.
This website is the most comprehensive website covering these fascinating insects. As well as providing lots of information online for the first time we also provide lots of content from third-party sources. This allows you to browse the vast majority of the world's collective knowledge of the order from one place.
This website also provides the only fully authoritative version of the Phasmid Study Group Culture List (sometimes called the Phasmid Study Group Species List). If you find differences between our list and third party copies please contact the third party to correct their copy. We provide the Culture List as a web service if webmasters would like to develop an automatically updating copy for their site.
Our Knowledge Base pages arrange content by topic, making it easier to find what you are looking for.
