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.

    My beautiful spiny leaf insects came alive and they looked great. They both were very cute, ugly and fascinating and just like the one in the picture just smaller. I have named them wobble and Bob

    Received my spiny leaf insect who has been dubbed "Lady Mortisha Spikington" & she is just the cutest little thing ever. She arrived healthy & full of life. To hard to get eucalyptus branches here (to high up) so got some wattle branches instead & she absolutely loves them, will definitely get eucalyptus ASAP tho. Early days, but I would highly recommend you get one or more.

    We have purchased 2 lots of Stickies from Mini Beasts - they are well cared for before they arrive and were delivered safe and well to us. The after support has been fantastic! Thanks
