An extremely large and hungry species, the winged males are usually shades of brown but the females can vary from pale green to rich red-brown (or even the lichen morph colour form) depending on cage backgrounds & leaf colours. They will gradually try to blend in with their environment from hatching as they shed & mature.

We keep the hatchlings in a plastic tub (with ventilation in the lid) with fresh dry green moss in the bottom & and then cover the outside of the tub with green tissue paper, this helped them to develop the moss green colouring as the ones from the same hatch that went into a plain cage stayed mostly brown as they matured.

All of our phasmid eggs are sent as a large letter via Royal Mail Tracked 48.

Egg Shipping is £2.50 per order.

I do not use paper envelopes or 1st class postage on my eggs as Royal Mail have 'lost' quite a lot of these in the last year or so and now I use small test tubes inside a flat box lined with insulation foam - I find that Royal Mail are less likely to lose the small tracked boxes.​
