It is easier to identify Phyllium by looking at their ova (eggs) . Can to post a photo of a egg for me ?

Wow...cool

It's indeed hard to id the nymphs, but mine are usually darker and their abdomen is not rounded.
Or we wait until they grow up

I don't think these are P.Giganteum. They have very pointed edjes on the Leaf portion of their body where these are rounded. I would guess due to size they may be P. Bioculatum.....

Hello,
Bob is right, P giganteum are a little bigger and they have the pointy edge instead of the round abdomen.

good luck with them.
