Blue stick insect (Myronides glaucus. "Peleng")

Impressive stick insect native to Indonesia but bred in Spain.

It is an easy species to maintain in captivity, with a very striking bluish color in the case of females and more brown in the case of males.

As adults they will measure up to 10 cm.

They will need a terrarium 2 times their body width and 3 times height, with 75% humidity. They feed on brambles and rose bushes.

At birth they are nymphs (L1) and they molt 6 times in the case of males (L6) and 7 in the case of females (L7). This takes about 5 months and they would already be adults, living up to 12 more months. If you have a preference for one sex, check availability.
