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

    My spiny leaf insect (Ernie) arrived super happy and full of energy. He’s a hungry boy and goes through so many leaves so definitely had to be prepared! Definitely buying another in the future

    Spiny leaf stick insect

    She arrived 3 days after I received shipping notification . She looked active and happy with her leaves still fresh in the box. She has transferred to our enclosure well and is eating the leaves/branches we’re providing. My 10 year old son is fascinated and very chuffed.
