Was given a large number of mature eggs and in two weeks have had 26 hatchlings of which 25 have survived.
These critters are amazing - there is a good picture of an adult female here:

How interesting! We see quite a number of these stick bugs around.
At the moment we are plagued with a strange green beetle. I have never seen them before. They're big (for a beetle) and fly fast and right at you. I take an electronic fly swatter with me everytime I go out in the yard. It looks like a small tennis raquet and gives me more surface to hit them with. These bugs freak me out. Nasty!!!
