Northern Walkingsticks

[mantisfan101]

Some Diapheromera femorata that I’ve been rearing at work. Awesome little guys and once they get over the first few instars they pick up speed in growth quite fast. They do need a diapause for the eggs to hatch, and we had ours hatch a bit too early for food plants but they seemed to do just fine at first instar in the fridge for a few weeks. I’ll update once we get adults.
