Stick insects

[jwasted]

I just recieved a pair of Anisomorpha buprestoides. The male is already attached to the female. They are supposed to be really pretty as they get older.

Anybody have any intrest in these? I may be able to get another pair to sell.

This should go in the classified forum.

But...I should be interested if I find a way to grow stick food inside.

I was just bragging about getting them hehe. I tried to get picks but my camera does horrible at close ups.

I don't. I don't own a culture of stickbugs. I've been interested in the longest time, but I can't find a plant they'll eat in the grocery store that will sustain them for six months, or that stays green during winter or one that I can keep inside.

have you gotten them to spray yet?

(oh and PM me if you end up with any extras)

HEllo All,
If planning on rearing sticks and not sure what to feed in WInter time you can try to freeze some oak and feed it to the sticks or perhaps you want to get some miniature roses and keep them inside the house as food plant.
Some sticks will eat Ficus benjamina or the Fiddle leaf ficus. Somo other sticks like Indians,Eurycantha,Heteropteryx will eat Ivy (Hedera sp)

I'm also going to experiment with raising wild rasberries, both in full size pots outside and in miniature pots inside during the winter.

As soon as they germinate, I'll make a thread
