Crowned Stick Insect - Onchestus rentzi

Captive-bred Juvenile Crowned Stick Insects. With a choice of either male or female

These insects can be kept like all other stick insects and will happily feed on Eucalyptus. Males can fly, whereas females cannot and are more robust. They are less active than Spiny Leaf insects, and you will often find them towards the bottom of the enclosure.

Females produce cloned offspring even without a mate. Under optimal conditions, the eggs take around one year to hatch.
