My guess is that these species are not in culture in the US due to their potential invasiveness?

Most of the USA would not really have to worry about these surviving the winters, but they are illegal to keep in the USA for exactly that reason.

Nice sticks Deroplatys, we know you just post these to make us jealous though. :razz:

Correct Although the Phasma gigas that were thought to be in culture are in fact Phasma reinwardtii

Maybe
You lot can just take a walk outside and find stick insects, mantids, Phiddipus, tarantula's, scorpions, ect ect, so im probably just as jealous
