[QUOTE="dgerndt, post: 167113, member: 4480"] Sorry it's been so long since I've posted! I've been busy with work and getting ready for school. So, anyway, I found an awesome male Diapheromera femorata while I was on vacation. I named him Bear, for the Sleeping Bear Dunes that I was staying near. (Voted most beautiful place in America, if you watch "Good Morning America") :D I picked him some rose leaves and he's been munching away. I read that they also eat apple leaves and oak leaves. Do they eat anything else? I have access to rose and apple leaves for now, but I'm not so sure how I can feed him when winter comes. I guess I could just buy cheap roses from the store. They sell those all year. Also, I don't know if he has any more molts to go. How can I tell if he's full grown or not? He has really long antennae, so if they're anything like mantids, he might be full grown. [/QUOTE]
