Carausius chani (Hausleithner, 1991)
PSG no. 27
Origin of culture stock: Sabah
Sub Family: Lonchodinae Foodplant in captivity: Bramble Humidity requirements: I spray a light mist over the leaves roughly once or twice a week. Comment: At the moment I have a tank of young nymphs. These are more or less pale green in colour, and 'play dead' whenever handled (see pic below). I don't yet know much about the species - I believe that they went out of
culture for some time, and were re-introduced a short while ago. |
