A Photographic Guide: Stick Insects of Borneo is the 12th book on stick and leaf insects authored by the writer. Over the past 30 years, this and earlier works, alongside articles and papers by other researchers, have redefined and greatly expanded our understanding of stick insect fauna, not only in Borneo but also of related species across Southeast Asia. However, the wealth of new insights brought by these publications has resulted in significant taxonomic changes—new combinations, synonyms, and corrections to previously misidentified species. These updates have sometimes made it challenging for the average “person in the forest” to determine the latest or correct name for the insect in their hands.

A Photographic Guide: Stick Insects of Borneo aims to address that challenge by consolidating the various taxonomic changes related to Bornean stick insects into one accessible, up-to-date volume. It encompasses almost all scientifically named stick and leaf insects from Borneo, with only a few exceptions where no extant specimen or photograph is currently available.

As the most comprehensive photographic guide to Bornean stick and leaf insects, this guide book will appeal to anyone interested in learning about these fascinating creatures or identifying them. Organised by family, it allows readers to compare photographs with specimens at hand, enabling quick and accurate identification to the species level. Any species not featured in this guide is very likely a new species yet to be described by science.
