Food plant: The main food plant is privet. Slightly growing phasmid it could change to the lilac, but lilac is less edible than privet. Adult phasmid can only go eat raspberries, but the young nymphs raspberries don't eat.
Reproduction: In nature there are males and females, but if the males are absence, they can go to the parthenogenesis stage, but in this case, their offspring become weaker, a lower percentage of survival, a lower percentage of hatching from eggs. Therefore, if only there is a possibility, it is necessary to the production of both sexes phasmid. The composition of the eggs are advised to identify and incubate smaller plastic deposit on wet peat. When peat starting to dry - wet them. Phasmid of the egg starts to roll after about 3-4 months. after the addition.
Appearance: adult females to 7 cm, male - 5.5 cm in length. Both males and females fly well and can fly away over long distances. Excite phasmid distinguish noxious liquid, which has a rather pungent odor. This liquid is hazardous, if you fall into the mucous membranes, or wounds. Therefore, after any contact with these phasmid need to wash your hands with soap. Phasmid name comes from the fact that phasmid has a pair of aciform sprouting at the time of the head. Their wings, gently brown in color, black speckle spots. The upper part of the legs black, lower yellow-brown. Have long antennae which colour yellowish brown.
