I've had a small collection of stick insects for a little over a year now, and they are probably my favorite insects of all time! Probably most tame and friendly insects or animals in general (as long as they are not being provoked, then they will run away from you) as well as looking very diverse from one another. Next to roaches and some beetles, these insects are probably the most cost moderate to raise as you only need some room temperature (or a little more) heating and cage material to buy for them, unless the plants or decoration are bought as well.
Phyllium philippinicum L1
Couple days old, notice the greener color than the freshly hatched nymph.
Extatosoma tiaratum (Macleay's Spectre) L3 Silhouette - Female
Newly molted nymph. Notice the spines on the back indicating a female specimen.
Parapachymorpha zomproi (Thailand Beauty Stick Insect) L5
One of the longest insects in my collection! Few more molts until adulthood.
