Never knew they could do this. For anyone reading these comments: www.keepinginsects.com/2017/02/how-to-get-the-lichen-color-morph-of-the-giant-prickly-stick-insect-extatosoma-tiaratum/
The Tarantula Cave thanks for sharing that for people. If I manage to get it to work this time round I'll do a vid on it but sometimes it's down to the genetics
Love these stick insects loads. I currently have five nymphs (three females and two males) in the L2-3 stage, I can't wait for them to mature. Your channel is very informative and your passion really shows. From your neighbour in Cornwall
I loved this vid, these stick insects are my absolute favourite, loved your passion for them lol! I have a question about breeding, what age do the males start to be able to reproduce with females ? Is it in there last shed ? I have a adult female who’s older than then my males by a couple sheds, hoping we won’t lose her before there able to mate.
Oh ok, thanks. I wanted to know as I just ordered an adult male to mate with my sub adult female but it sounds like she won’t be molting for a while yet, weird though because she’s been this instar for a few months now!
Great video, I love phasmids but there doesn't seem to be a great variety here in the US. By the way has anyone ever told you that you look like a young Steve Winwood? Particularly when you smile-grin.
Thanks! Yeah its unfortunate that its illegal (as far as I'm aware?) to send them to u guys in the US. Nope nobody has told me that but I will certainly take it as a compliment haha! thanks!
So this has been out for 4 days and I JUST got the notification for it!! WTF RUclips!! It looks like she whats to hug you or tear your face off. I am not sure which. Ether way I would love to have some of those.
Definitely one of the best looking phasmids. Love this species! She's a stunner. Great colour variation in adults too.
The Tarantula Cave thanks. Yeah I may attempt a lichen morph if the nymphs survive. So far I've not managed it but I'll try n try again 😁

I've planted eucalyptus at home now, but I'm giving it a few years to grow large before I start cutting at it 😊
Yo same
I also keep this species of phasmids and agree, they are beautiful and very interesting. Cool video.

what does it mean when your phasmid has its arms over each other with minimal movement??
How do you care for the eggs ?
Also a praymantus and a leaf incect and stick incect
Really neat🇨🇦
How do I tell which stage she is in , because I have also an extatosoma tiaratum too
Check for Wing buds. If there's no sign of tiny wings they are young, males are fully winged and females will have little buds and are quite chunky.
@@OldChannelBugRealms I can see the smal wing buds but they are a bit small
@@OldChannelBugRealms and HOw do i tell if she is toing to moult?
@@botonipad8677 probably sub adult 😊 females wings stay small but are noticeablely roundish
@@OldChannelBugRealms Okay 😁
Nice video, what are the pre molt signs?
Yes, they will refuse to eat and often hang around At the top of the enclosure. You sometimes can also notice a lighter looking body 😁
