Small species of stick insects?

[phasmid]

Hello,

which stick insect/leaf insect etc. species are around 2 inches length or less at maturity?
Which ones are your favourites and why?
Thank you

Timema sp. are quite small - around an inch or so long at maturity. I'm not sure how well they do in captivity, though. I've found them out here in SoCal in the wild, but have not kept them in captivity. If I can find some again this spring, I may give it a try.

The smallest species I've kept is sungaya inexpectata, but they grow to 3 inches. Why are you looking for such small species, if you don't mind me asking?
