Favourite dream phasmid?

[Morpheus_UK]

I suppose my favouite phasmid is... my female jungle nymph, but my dream phasmid is Eurycnama goliath yet i cant keep them as no eucalyptos

Jungle nymphs are very nice, they just look fantastic.
I think my dream phasmid would be a Pharnacia species. In Bristol Zoo they had an exhibit of some that were probably edging on for about 35cm or so. Truely fantastic looking things.

I went thier a year or two ago on a geography trip, i stood there ages waiting for someone to come so i can sk about them and hopefully scav some eggs perhaps XD
Didnt agree with keeping phyllium gigantium with jungle nymphs tho:confused:

[Ian]

Were they together? That's not to hot. I think this could turn into discussion on a whole new thread. In fact I think I will create one now.

I have jungle nymphs aswell, Im sure that goliaths can eat bramble

[Brian]

My favourite was my big female ET that died recently as she the first stick I ever had. My 2 female Jungle nymphs are looking fantastic just now so they would probably take the title at present. I am not overly knowledgable about all the species of phasmids that there are so there are probably some fantastic ones I that I have never saw that I would love!!!!

Here are my female Jungle nymphs:-

Wow, lovely pic there, and there not even fully grown!

[Ian]

Great photos there Brian, I never handled my adult females without a glove or a towel or something... always the fear of them clamping.

Beautiful green on them.

[Longy]

Very nice.

Are jungle nymphs ok to keep or are they too hard?

[Ben.M]

Mine would be Pharnacia sp. probs :D

[Brian]

Are jungle nymphs ok to keep or are they too hard?

Not particularly difficult. Just remember they get big and shouldn't be mixed with other species.

[stickinsect123]

They look brilliant to keep aren't there yellow versions too

[lamb12380]

Yeah, I'd love a yellow female, but ive never been lucky enough to have one, but yes, they are fairly easy to keep

[Longy]

They look brilliant to keep aren't there yellow versions too

Yeh but they're quite rare.

[stickinsect123]

wow the yellow ones do look amazing it could be the climate there living in which makes them yellow or is it genetic?
