7 Stick Insects Invertebrates for sale in Faringdon, Oxfordshire
Stick Insects, also known as phasmids or walking sticks, are remarkable insects originating mainly from tropical and subtropical regions, with some species found in temperate zones. These insects are renowned for their extraordinary camouflage skills, resembling twigs, branches, or leaves to evade predators effectively. Physically, they possess elongated, cylindrical bodies that can range dramatically in size, with some species like Chan's Megastick reaching over 60 cm in length. Their slender, segmented bodies and long legs often mimic sticks, and some species have wings, though many do not. Stick insects exhibit captivating behaviour such as swaying like a twig in the breeze and remaining motionless to enhance their disguise. Temperament-wise, they are docile creatures, frequently kept as pets due to their calm nature and intriguing life cycle. They reproduce via both sexual reproduction and parthenogenesis, allowing females to reproduce without males. In terms of suitability, they are ideal for enthusiasts seeking low-maintenance pets that require a habitat with fresh leaves and stable humidity.
