Indian Stick Insect - Carausius morosus
Indian stick insects can grow upto 5 inches long.They are one of the easiest species to start with. They feed well on bramble which can be found in gardens all year round. Regular misting is necessary as they drink from water droplets.
All nymphs will be female as males are quite rare to find. This species is parthenogenetic meaning females will lay fertile eggs without mating.
Each nymphs, once matured, can lay a few hundered eggs each which if kept in the correct condition will hatch with a very high success rate.
Once hatched the nymphs can be fed on cut bramble leaves or leaves already nibbled on by adults as newly hatched nymphs can have trouble feeding on the hardened edges.
