Indian Stick Insect Nymph

Offer

1 Indian stick insect nymph, age from L1.

General Information

The Indian stick insect is also known as the laboratory stick insect and is the most commonly kept species of stick insect in the world. The species has also been given a PSG number, PSG 1. The official Latin name is Carausius morosus.

Most people start with this species when they first begin keeping stick insects. They are easy to keep and eat readily available food, namely ivy.

Movement and Behavior

An Indian stick insect is a calm animal. As most stick insects are nocturnal, they will not show much movement during the day. In the evening, however, you can observe them moving and eating. They cannot bite, scratch, or secrete venom and are easy to handle. They also cannot jump or fly.

Diet

This species eats many types of leaves. They are known for eating ivy. They can live on all sorts of ivy and do not require other leaves to be healthy. You can feed them many other leaves, such as blackberry, raspberry, oak, rose, hazelnut, and privet leaves. Blackberry leaves and ivy are always available in winter.

Plants from stores are sprayed with insecticides! Your stick insects will die immediately from these.

Environmental Requirements

The temperature can vary between 18 °C and 30 °C. Room temperature is therefore perfectly fine for these animals.
The stick insect does not have high humidity requirements; misting the enclosure twice a week as a basic routine is sufficient, but watch out for mold development. They should also have some drinking water.
As with all stick insect species, they need an enclosure at least 3 times the length of the animal in height, and at least 2 times the length of the animal in width. For an adult female, this means an enclosure of at least 24 cm high and 16 cm wide.

Reproduction

This species is parthenogenetic in culture. This means that in captivity, there are only females, and the eggs they lay hatch even without a male being present. These eggs will also only produce females.
Once the females are mature, they will start laying eggs. The eggs are round and brown and have a small cap on them from which the nymph will later emerge. They simply drop them on the ground. The eggs hatch after a few months.

Home Breeding

All nymphs are home-bred and well cared for prior to shipping (via parcel post).

PSG 9 Australian stick insect nymph

1 Australian stick insect nymph. The sex of the nymphs is not always visible yet.

General information

A young nymph of the stick insect species Extatosoma tiaratum. This is also called the Australian Stick Insect. The species has also been given the number PSG9.

The Australian stick insect originates from Australia and New Guinea and is very popular due to its unusual shapes and size. They look more like a cactus than a branch. They have spines and striking protrusions on their legs. They are often brown in color, and occasionally green varieties of this type are also available. In the photos above you can see how beautiful they are!

What is striking is the big difference between males and females. The females are thick, spiny and 15 cm long. Males are simply narrow with long wings, small spines and a length of about 12 to 13 cm.

Movement and behavior

This stick insect is a peaceful animal. Because most stick insects are nocturnal, they will not move much during the day. In the evening you will see them moving and eating.

Food

This species eats various leaves such as blackberry leaves, raspberry leaves, oak leaves, rose leaves, hazelnut and eucalyptus leaves. Blackberry leaves are easy to find, even in winter. Make sure the food is unsprayed!

The nymphs are raised by us on blackberry leaves, so we recommend using this type of leaf for the nymph. You can also mix different leaves (but at least blackberry) so that they can get used to another type of leaf.

Conditions

The temperature can vary between 20 ° C and 30 ° C. So room temperature is fine for these animals. The stick insect does not make high demands on humidity, make sure you spray at least 2-3 times a week, as they need water to survive. Watch out for mold development.
As with all species of stick insects, the animals require an enclosure that is at least 3 times the length of the animal in height and at least 2 times the length of the animal in width. For an adult female, this means an enclosure of at least 45 cm high and 30 cm wide.

Reproduction

Adult males can be distinguished because they are smaller, have wings and long antennae.
This species can reproduce sexually or parthenogenetically. You can keep the males and females together in an enclosure. The eggs are round brown balls.
The eggs hatch after about 4 to 6 months if a male has fertilized the female, parthenogenetic eggs hatch after six months to a year. Store the eggs on a damp paper. This should always be damp, but not really wet. Preferably keep the eggs at a temperature of 25 ° C. Watch out for mold!

Own breeding

The insects are bred by us and are only shipped by parcel post. The sex is not always visible yet. Have fun observing these amazing animals!

Leaf insect, Phyllium sp.

This species was formerly known as Phyllium sp. Leaf insects belong to the group Phasmida, which also includes stick insects. Leaf insects can be of various species, but always fall under the large species, hence the information below on the giant leaf insect.

The information below mainly concerns PSG72.

Appearance and Origin

The species lives only in western Malaysia and is the largest known species.

The animal has excellent camouflage: its body strongly resembles a ragged leaf. Not only is the color green and the body flat and oval, but the veins are also mimicked. Its legs are brown and have indentations, appearing irregular. This makes it even more difficult for a potential enemy to spot them. If the animal is caught anyway, it plays dead, because insectivores do not eat dead insects and sometimes drop the leaf insect. This is also its only defense; a leaf insect is otherwise completely defenseless.

An adult female is over 13 cm. (PSG278 remains a bit smaller with a maximum of 8 cm.)

Reproduction

Reproduction is special. Males do occur in nature, but they are not needed for breeding animals in captivity. In captivity, therefore, only females are available. The females then produce unfertilized eggs which do hatch and are all female. This is called parthenogenesis. (In PSG278, males also occur; they are smaller and narrower and can fly reasonably well with substantial wings.)

Development

All specimens born through parthenogenesis are females. Gynandromorphism also occurs in this species: the phenomenon that an individual possesses many male characteristics, yet is female. Young animals are called nymphs and are reddish-brown until their first molt. When the nymphs have just hatched from the egg, they look like small spiders. Later, when they start eating, they turn green. The eggs hatch after 5 to 6 months, and it takes almost a year for the animals to mature. The leaf insects go through 8 molting stages.

Housing

Giant leaf insects are kept at room temperature. Approximately 20 ^o to 25^o Celsius. They need a terrarium of at least 20cm long x 20cm wide x 40cm high. Such a tank is suitable for housing about five adult animals. There must be sufficient ventilation.

Feeding

They feed on blackberry leaves. If available, a sprig of rose leaves or oak leaves.

A jam jar with holes in the lid serves as a vase for the blackberry sprigs. This prevents eggs and nymphs from ending up in the water and keeps the blackberry leaves fresh for one to two weeks.

It is important that the climate in the tank is relatively dry. This is achieved by spraying sparingly with a plant mister. The animals drink moisture from fresh leaves. So always ensure fresh blackberry leaves with the branches/stems in moisture as described above.

Handling and moving

Sometimes it is necessary to move the leaf insects. The small specimens can most easily be picked up by the tip of their "tail" and carefully pulled loose if they are holding on. If you find this scary, a spoon is a good solution. With a little skill, they will walk onto it themselves. Carefully pick up the larger specimens. If they are holding onto a twig, do not pull hard. You can also manipulate them so that they walk onto your hand themselves.

Replacing blackberry leaves for nymphs

The advice is to first replace the withered leaves by cutting the leaves from the old twigs in the tank and leaving them in the tank with the nymphs attached. Remove the twigs and some leaves. Continue this until all twigs have been removed from the jam jar with holes. Once the jam jars have been cleaned, they are put back, and new twigs are placed in them. A few days later, you remove the dried leaves. Make sure to check carefully that there are no nymphs on them.

Maintenance

On the bottom, for example, lay a few centimeters of sandbox or tile sand. This prevents mold. The dry sand easily absorbs moisture and also easily releases it again. Before the sand is used, it needs to be thoroughly dried.

You can just leave the droppings. As well as the leaf litter. If there is a lot, you can easily scoop it up with a spoon and remove it. If there are eggs, you can also leave them.

When cleaning, you put droppings with eggs on a tray and can separate them quite easily. For example, you can use a tea strainer to quickly separate the sand from droppings and eggs. To then separate the eggs from the droppings. Inside, the windows are only cleaned with kitchen paper and a little warm water.

Popular

This is a very popular stick insect species, due to its unusual shapes and size. Read on to learn more about caring for this stick insect.

Appearance

This species actually looks more like a type of cactus than a branch or leaf. They have striking spines and protrusions on their legs. They are often brown in color, and very occasionally green variants of this species can be found.
What is striking is the large difference between males and females. Females are thick, spiny, and up to 15 cm long. Males are slender with long wings, few spines, and a length of about 12 to 13 cm.

Behavior

This type of stick insect exhibits very special behavior. As a defense, females and nymphs mimic a scorpion! By curling their tail upwards, they resemble venomous scorpions. Predators who see this are startled and do not dare to risk attacking a potential scorpion. The harmless stick insect cleverly gets away by bluffing with its tail!
Furthermore, this is a calm animal. Since most stick insects are nocturnal, they will not show much movement during the day. In the evening, however, you can see them moving and eating.

Food

This species eats blackberry, raspberry, oak, rose, hazelnut, and eucalyptus leaves. Blackberry leaves are always available in winter.
Beware of rose bushes from the store, they are always sprayed with insecticides! Eucalyptus is mostly unsprayed, but to be safe, you should always inquire at the store.

Environmental Requirements

The temperature can vary between 20 °C and 30 °C. Room temperature is fine for these animals.
This species does not have high demands on humidity. They need some water to drink, and for molting, the humidity can also be a bit higher. Ventilation is important. We recommend misting the enclosure about twice a week.
As with all stick insect species, this species needs an enclosure that is at least 3 times the length of the animal in height, and at least 2 times the length of the animal in width. For an adult female, this means at least 45 cm high and 30 cm wide.
If the females become very large and heavy, it becomes difficult for them to climb on glass. It is better for your pet if you ensure that it can also climb up via a rough surface or branch. They often hang upside down.

Reproduction

Males and females are easy to distinguish. Females are thicker and wider and have many spines, while males are narrower with fewer spines. When they are mature, the males are very different from the females. They then have wings and are very slender. They also have very long antennae.
This species can reproduce parthenogenetically or sexually. You can keep the males and females together in an enclosure. The eggs are round brown balls. They can be distinguished from droppings because they are much rounder and shiny, and they do not fall apart if you rub them gently.

Ideal for climbing insects

The BioDome features ventilation openings on two sides and in the lid. This keeps the air fresh and effectively removes moist, stagnant air. For species that require extra heat, a heat cable can easily be placed under the base.

Craftsmanship & material - please note...

Each BioDome is carefully and precisely handcrafted in the Netherlands from laser-cut acrylic. Due to this artisanal production and bonding process, subtle stress structures, also known as crazing, may be visible in the bonded edges.

These fine line structures are a natural characteristic of high-quality acrylic that is precisely bonded and are an inherent part of the manufacturing process. They do not affect the strength, durability, or functionality of the terrarium.

As with other handmade products, this contributes to the unique character of every BioDome.
