Ramulus nematodes "Khao Lak"
type: Product
description: Common name: Blue stick insect / Thai Stick Insect, Khao Lak locality Origin: Southeast Asia, with this culture originating from the Khao Lak area on the Andaman coast of southern Thailand. The species occurs in warm lowland forest and secondary growth, and is widespread and adaptable across its range. Diet: Accepts a broad range of foodplants. Bramble is taken readily and is available year round, and oak, hazel, raspberry, privet, hawthorn and eucalyptus are all eaten well.

Size: Adult females reach around 11 to 14cm body length, slender and stick like, in colour forms ranging from grass green through to grey brown, sometimes with fine mottling. Males are considerably more slender and shorter at around 8 to 9cm, usually brown, with longer antennae and a more active temperament. Nymphs hatch at roughly 1.5cm and look like miniature adults from the start. Lifespan: 10 to 14 months, with adults living around 4 to 6 months after their final moult. Defense: Purely passive. This species has no defensive spray or chemical glands. When disturbed it relies on camouflage and catalepsy, holding perfectly still with the front legs stretched out alongside the head so it reads as a twig, and it will sway gently to mimic a br…
