hi everyone.

My name is rob and I am currently into keeping stick insects.

I have currently have about 17 stick insects.
6 x Indian (Carausius Morosus)
8 x Vietnamese Prickly (Neohirasea Maerens)
3 x Giant Thorny (Trachyaretaon Bruekneri)

I also have the following babies (Nymphs)

4 x Winged (Phaenopharos khaoyaiensis)
1 x Indian (Carausius Morosus)
1 x Unknown (not able to ID it as it is too small to tell)

I have some Eggs (Ova) waiting to hatch (2 newest additions arrived this morning).

I have been into stick insects for the past 6 weeks and started out with 11 Indian Stick Insects, I lost one when I first cleaned out their vivarium (must have thrown it away with the food plant). I lost one of my Vietnamese Prickly to ill health, and one of my nymphs was catapulted into the air while I was trying to get it onto a leaf, never saw it again.

This is one of my Giant Thorny (Trachyaretaon Bruekneri)
