Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

2 pairs of very young jungle nymphs from our stock of about 100 adults last generation - these will eventually grow to be huge adults (2 males + 2 females)

With the cheap two pair box we assume you don't want many so unlike the bigger boxes usually don't tend to send an extra pair for free 

most of the photos show the adults, the ones we are selling are much younger

you can sex even the youngest ones, the females have a slightly pointed tail

We have recently started keeping young ones of these in the same cage as young siliquofera grandis katydids and so far so good. We're not saying that's definitely fine as it's a recent thing.

Feed well on bramble, oak, beech, raspberry, hawthorn - keep cut stems in jars of water but don't leave gaps to let the insects fall in 

Temperature 20-30 C (a warm room temperature), humidity 70-85%

please read up on this species before purchase 

we post on Tuesdays mornings, purchase before 8am Tuesday for postage that day, otherwise we will post the following Tuesday
