Hi All
I hadn't posted these as I first wanted to know if I could successfully keep them and a few weeks down the line, they're all still alive so I assume I am not doing too bad.
This is a phasmid species from Mount Halcon in the Phillipines. As adults they are probably one of the best twig impersonators, even creating a kink, mid-body.
I currently have 6 nymphs (all still L1) which I hatched from eggs and all appear to be doing well. One has a funky leg which was caused during hatching, but he should moult out of it.
These pics were taken during the day when they're completely dormant. At night they come to life with antennae waving everywhere.
Enjoy.
