Shame almost all of the katydids mis moulted during posting and lost a bunch of limbs although the P.sgabra are amazing!

Are the grasshopper's eyes those two bumps at the top of its tall head? That's freaking funny looking!

Ah these are fantastic things. I wish there was a UK supplier, I have been wanting these for a long while.

 

[Morpheus uk]

I got them from the uk :huh:

 

[Ian]

Oh yes, of course, I keep forgetting you are from the UK.

Any chance you could PM me with details of where you got them from?

 

[Morpheus uk]

I thought "Location: England" was a bit of a give away lol

hey morpheus

how are those grass hoppers to keep? what are you feeding them on?

do they breed just like phasmids? there were a pair on ebay (male and female)

 

[Morpheus uk]

They are great! keep exactly like phasmids,ive only had one horse head die, but 2 katydids <_<

They like it quite humid but they need a loda ventialtion, id day get them, they are great and easy to keep

The grasshoppers are on bramble and rose while the katydids are on bramble and buddlia

 

[keelan]

i cant find any information on them around the web do you have a link to any at all?

 

[Morpheus uk]

What info d`ya need? i know a bit about them and i couldnt find much info on them either

 

[Morpheus uk]
