Species: Dimorphodes sp. (PSG 236).

Common Name: None.

Size:  Maximum: Male, 4.5cm. Female, 6.5cm.

Breeding: Sexual.

Eggs: Unknown as of yet.

Food: Bramble.

Humidity: Spray very lightly twice per week as nymphs and lightly three times a week as they get larger, but experiences would be appreciated.

Comments: An attractive insect, brown in colour with white markings and ‘flat’ rather than round.  Can be very active when fully alert and easy to handle.  Nymphs are very slow growing and difficult to rear.
