A lot more than you had last year, as wasn't it 2 males and 3 females you got all the eggs from?

Hi, I'm also breeding stick insects. What species do you have? Those you see on my video. I watched the video and only saw the Extatosoma tiaratum, however I remember you saying you had other species. Do you still have them? By the way, some really nice stick insects you have there. I happen to breed them myself and will post some pictures when I come home on Saturday. |

Jen has collected 9 eggs this morning from the tank. Last year we collected around 150 but as we have more adult males and females now we expect to get maybe 400 to 500 at least over the next 3 months. The invasion has begun.  |
