Why rename?

Because it’s a leaf insect not a stick insect. So the stick name is inappropriate.

Ah, thank you. I assume that's in the blurriness I decided not to read.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

It is actually in the first sentence of the last paragraph of blurriness though I could only make this out after reading the comment above about stick vs leaf insects.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

It is. The first couple paragraphs are more legible.

Stickenborough is not a stick insect, they're a leaf insect, so would be called Leafenborough
