 Philippine leaf insect (Phyllium philippinicum) available for sale!!! When mature, they reach 6 to 9 cm in length. Females develop a flat, broad, bright green appearance with vein-like patterns on the abdomen closely mimicking a leaf. They also come in an array of patterns featuring spots on the abdomen. Males are the same colouration but smaller, with beautiful wings that they display and use to glide. Macleay's spectre stick insects have a lifespan of around 1 to 1.5 years with proper care. This species can reproduce with males; however, they are parthenogenic, meaning they can produce offspring without males. Their diet consists of either bramble, oak, Raspberry, hazel or Rose. However, these babies have been raised on bramble, so they may prefer that option. Originating from the Philippines, they need an ambient temperature of 20-25 degrees Celsius, so a house temperature is fine, if kept away from direct sunlight and draughts. They will need to be sprayed with water to maintain humidity. A care sheet will be provided that I have personally completed to ensure they have the best care possible :)
