Species: Xylica oedematosa (PSG 234).

Common Name: None

Size:  Maximum: Males, 5cm. Females, 6cm.

Breeding: Sexual

Eggs: These are dropped to the floor.

Food: Bramble.

Humidity: Medium. Spray every two or three days.

Comments: This is a relatively easy species to keep. They are pea green and pretty. They are easily handled, undemanding and a good addition to any collection. They are said to emit an odour similar to apples, although I have not noticed this yet. Adults are wingless and would seem to mate a lot of the time!
