Here is a fantastic pet stick insect that goes by several names that I recommend for beginners. The Giant Prickly stick insect goes by the following names ( Spiny Leaf insect, Macleay’s Spectre, or Australian Walking Stick). As the last name implies these insects are from Queensland Australia and New Guinea.

These stick insects are scary looking and very unusual. The female giant prickly stick insect can grow up to 8 inches in length and have spikes all over their bodies. The females also have wings but they are underdeveloped and can’t fly. The male Australian walking stick is about half the size as the female and have a lot fewer spines or spikes on the body. The males also have wings but they can actually fly and will if threatened.

The life span of a Giant Prickly stick insect is around year. If taken care of properly your pet should lay ova which you can collect and hatch for an ongoing supply stick insect nymphs.
