Few pics of one of my female D. australis along with a bunch of eggs. This is my No.1 favourite species of phasmid and am so very excited to be breeding them finally.
Really, what phasmid are they more closely related to?In many ways they are nothing like Eurycantha and are not actually related to them at all.
These guys are thriving on a wide variety of ficus species. I just house them in a large plastic tub turned on its end to maximise height, lid cut out and fly screen glued in for ventilation. Tub is bare apart from laying container and cut food plants in a bottle of water. Mist every day or 2 and kept at room temp which is currently around the low-mid 20sHoly crap!
Best of luck to you!
What foodplants do they take?
What conditions are you keeping them under?
I knew the zoo was breeding them but i never knew they were giving some to private keepers, hope they do well
I have been told by one researcher that DNA has placed them in the Necrosciinae family but i'm not convinced thats the case, to me they have much more in common with the Phasmatinae familyReally, what phasmid are they more closely related to?
How do you get a hold of some of These?Few pics of one of my female D. australis along with a bunch of eggs. This is my No.1 favourite species of phasmid and am so very excited to be breeding them finally.
Usually, you don't unless you own a zooHow do you get a hold of some of These?
