Description

Minibeast Wildlife - Ethical Captive Breeder

An overwhelming favourite, the Spiny Leaf Insect is a hardy pet, easy to keep and a fascinating addition to your home or school.

As far as insect pets go, Spiny leaf insects are a winner! They have amazing camouflage, and are able to be handled gently. These captive-bred insects mainly feed on eucalyptus leaves, and can be kept in groups or on their own. As adults, the females have short, flightless wings, and the adult males have long wings and are capable of flying short distances. Females are also able to reproduce without a male!

Adult female 150mm (sold as juveniles ~30mm in body length)

  • Also known as Macleay's Spectre after their distinctive camouflage.
  • Suitable for all ages and experience levels. Great to handle!

  • Captive bred through our environmentally sustainable breeding program.
  • All Minibeast Wildlife animals are covered by our seven day Minibeast Guarantee and have a free downloadable Care Guide

    Ordered during covid19 iso for 8 year olds birthday so was nervous of how long it would take in the post and how healthy they would be. 5 days of travel and they arrived safe and healthy and the whole family is enjoying watching them. Thank you ... great creatures and great service.
