Sub Family: Pachymorphinae

Foodplant in captivity:  Bramble, oak.

Comment:  Sceptrophasma hispidula was originally described as a Gratidia sp, and as such, both male and female are rather thin.  They reproduce sexually, and stick their grass seed-like ova over the sides of the cage, the leaves and onto other phasmids.  Remember that it is necessary to take extra care not to accidentally dispose of the ova when throwing out old food plants etc.
