My Leafy Ladies.

Bugsy,
Keep their food fresh by placing sprouting leaf shoots in a small pot of water

I think these are the Maclaye's Spectres (Australian Spiny Stick Insect) that we can sometimes buy here in the UK

Extatasoma tiaratum

I took some photos of my stick insects, the quality isn't good because I took it with my web cam.


I tryed to place him a few steps back but he just wanted a close up



And here is what I keep them in. It has a lot of room and space. But its a bad photo

I am so sad I cannot find stick insects in sa

I've been VERY tempted to go to Virginia Cheeseman's centre and take a look at the tarantulas and mantis, as I would love to keep some. My mama refuses the cute tarantula I had my heart set on, so I might just go and visit after sending her an email to confirm it's alright. She lives up the road from me! I have a friend in Utah who tells me mantis are adorable, like inquisative pups, but I've yet to be convinced, I just think the look so elegant. The tarantula is really really sweet though, he looks like a large greyhound. Oh well, my brother just got a corn snake, perhaps I'll slyly take that home instead

Lovely leaf insects, not really appealing to me, but very well camoflaged and prickly!

The slow bug is the safe bug. (going to post a stick in my pics!)

Sadly not Michael, though I may try getting some more sometime. My Macleay's Spectres are rather leafy looking and not a typical stick insect if you've seen my recent video of one of them?
