Hello there


I would like to ask your help in identifying this amazingly cute stick/ leaf insect protecting her eggs. I found her on a plank in my garden.
I live in Gauteng in South Africa.

Thank for your time.

I hope you can monitor the female and see when the little ones hatch and keep us updated

Excellent find and great photo with all required details for identification. Thank you for sharing!

Gee that is so amazing! I will keep checking for the babies (nymphs) and upload any pics for your forum.
Have a great weekend and ThanQ so much.

There is not much known on the biology of this species. Some females will also guard the hatchlings for the first week or so.

I hope you don't miss the event

What is the egg mass like? Is it just eggs or covered in a foam-like ootheca?

An elongated fly, 1cm!

I thought that I had seen it before
