Thank you. I have to be really gentle with them and am only feeding them fruit flys at the minute. I could also give them micro crickets but I think fruit flys are better.

Another cool thing about this species of leaf insect is that there are no males kept in captivity. All are female and lay eggs without mating. All these eggs will hatch out to be exact copies of the mother. There are Phyllium philippinicus and Phyllium siccifolium males kept in captivity but no on can find any Phyllium giganteum males in captivity.

Thats what I love so much about certan phasmid species. You dont need to do anything and they will breed!
Cant wait for the updates! =)

I just hope they will hatch first! They were pretty cheap though so I could get more.

One of the Asian flower mantids just shed. It's still tiny and there's barely a difference but its definitely a tiny bit bigger.
