SPINY LEAF INSECT (EXTATOSOMA TIARATUM)
We have now purchased 4 healthy happy spiny leaf insects. They are a great low maintenance pet that my kids look after and read to every day. When my son's teacher saw our new pets she asked if we could purchase some babies that the class could look after during the week to learn more about insects and to watch them grow. I have been surprised by how much fun they have been for our family.
