Stick and leaf insects (also known as phasmids) make ideal pets, being inexpensive to purchase and requiring relatively little in the way of maintenance. The choice is vast and may include, amongst others, spiny monsters, vividly coloured winged insects, placid twigs and leaf-like creatures.This book covers all aspects of owership, with suggestions on selecting the most appropriate species and life stage, detailed consideration of the species readily available in culture, plus useful hints on housing and husbandry. For the ambitious, the author elaborates on the more advanced techniques of breeding phasmids and there is a helpful trouble-shooting section which discusses potential problems together with a variety of solutions.
