Indian Stick Insects (Carausius morosus)
Indian Stick Insects vary in shades of colour from dull green to brown, and are distinguished by red marks on the inside of their forelegs and are flashed at potential predators to keep them at bay.
They imitate twigs and drop to the ground when disturbed. Once the threat has passed the Indian stick insect will stand up and sway like a twig being blown in the breeze. They are a manageable size with adults growing to around four inches in length.
Living Twig Stick Insect Kit
Is it a twig or an insect? Well, both, kind of – it’s an insect that looks just like a twig and acts like one too!
The Indian stick insect is an ideal entry-point to the world of keeping invertebrates. They have been kept in captivity for decades and are one of the most studied insects. Raise them from a tiny egg and when they hatch feed them fresh bramble leaves, privet or ivy. You can watch them moult and grow into adults up to 10cm long!
Perfect as a gift as the recipient can redeem the voucher for the eggs in their own time (small p&p fee applies).
30cm reusable pop-up habitat (foliage not included), made of super clear mesh for easy viewing
Voucher for 8 -10 stick insect eggs (small p&p fee applies when redeeming)
Paint brush
Easy to follow coloured instruction guide
Please note: Once you have redeemed the enclosed voucher and then receive your eggs, they can hatch at any time from arrival and up to 2 months later, so some patience is required!
Ages 4+ Adult supervision
