The nymphs are currently around 2-3cm in size and are a mix of L2 and L3 nymphs.
Price £5 each + £5.99 for postage & packing (UK only).
We also regularly have other species in stock - including Jungle Nymphs, Mossy Stick Insects, Macleay Spectres, Blue Metallics and more. Message us for current availability.
🪲 Species Facts: Philippine Leaf Insect (Phyllium philippinicum)
🌿 Living green leaves – These master mimics look exactly like fresh foliage, with bright-green bodies and delicate vein-like markings that fool even sharp-eyed predators.
💚 Brilliant camouflage – Their vivid colour blends with tropical leaves, while slightly serrated edges and tiny “bite marks” add to the illusion.
📏 Graceful growers – Females reach about 8–9 cm (3–3.5 in) in length; slimmer males average 5–6 cm (2–2.5 in) and are more agile.
👩🌾 Beginner-friendly – Hardy and calm, they suit careful new keepers as long as warmth and humidity stay consistent.
🥗 Leafy diet – Thrive on bramble, raspberry, guava, and oak; always provide young, fresh leaves for the best feeding response.
💧 Moist and warm – Maintain high humidity and a gentle misting routine, especially around moults, to ensure smooth growth.
🐣 Easy breeders – Females can reproduce parthenogenetically, laying eggs without a male, though mixed groups can yield both sexes.
🪽 Winged males only – Males develop functional wings for short flights, while females remain broad and flightless for superior disguise.
🌙 Nighttime nibblers – Primarily nocturnal, they stay motionless through the day, hidden in plain sight among the Philippine rainforest canopy.
