Sub Family: Phasmatinae

Foodplant in captivity: Bramble.

Humidity requirements: I keep in a partially ventilated vivarium (i.e. a tall glass tank with a plastic mesh lid), and lightly spray the leaves on a nightly basis. 

Comment: A long, thin and rather spindly phasmid.  I received a lone sub-adult female at one of the PSG meetings, and was subsequently given two adult males by the PSG coordinator.  As such, I know only what the adults look like: females have a beautiful apple-green body with diagonally-stripy brown legs.  Males are thinner than females, and are overall a yellow-brown colour, though with thin longitudinal darker brown stripes on the body.  Both species are apterous.

Defence tactics: Mainly camouflage.
