Cyphocrania gigas Linnaeus, 1758 Here is a synonym in the species to which I have now suffered.
This is closer to the truth (especially in geography). So now let's leave that.

Achrioptera fallax → Phasma gigas.

Giant Indonesian living stick (Cyphocraniu gigas) like it here, I did not find the same phasmatodea.

Most likely a different look.
Achrioptera fallax - endemic to northern Madagascar and Indonesia, has nothing to do (if you do not deliver, of course).
And in appearance, there are significant differences: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achrioptera_fallax
Let stand up here is to determine the exact species.
