Species: Pseudophasma rufipes (formerly
Paraphasma rufipes ) (PSG 85).
Common Name: None.
Size: Maximum: Females
up to 7.5cm.
Breeding:
Parthenogenetic (females only in captivity).
Eggs:
Food: Privet.
Humidity: Spray
lightly, once per week.
Comments: An attractive
brown species with long black/white stripped
antennae. They are a very lazy species that dislike
moving much, apart from when they are being handled
and are then very fast moving. They develop red
wings as adults and are fast growing as nymphs. They
will fly readily and un-expectedly, so take care.
