BensBeasts1 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I collected 2 Diapheromera femorata walking sticks yesterday. And I will be getting more soon. Any tips on raising them or their eggs? Hopefully I will be starting a breeding project and making this species more avaliable. (One of the sticks lost 1 leg through molting sadly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspenentomology Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 I'd just say a screen enclosure or a tank on its side with a screen lid. And if you want the food twigs to last longer, you can submerge the end in a container of water with a paper towel or something similar covering the rest of the opening to prevent them from drowning. I wouldn't know with the eggs, though. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BensBeasts1 Posted September 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I left my door to my room open🤦♂️. And thankfully one may still be alive and all the eggs are safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
