To be honest, I really thought of Brancsikia beeing a South American genus. Stupid me ;-)

But I am sure there are still 49 ather "South American dead leaf species" left over there :) Ok, Choeradodis is more a "alive" leaf :)

 
Hi

Here is the 2,3 breeding group. The first female is subadult since yesterday, the oldest male is presub. The two younger females are also presub, and the youngest male is one instar younger. In this special case, the males are the bright ones while the females are the dark ones.





regards

Nice pics! For some reason my females are always darker while males are lighter in color.

Pair them up recently, male is really rough trying to get on the female. I was terrified!! thought the female will fight back but on both occasion the female didn't attack. But once connected everything is alright and they even let me take a few pics :D

Thanks guys. Paul, as agreed i will send you the adult male instead. One of the females finally laid an ooth that looks like a bean string :blink: pretty neat.
