Phasmedia

This page is about the keeping and breeding of phasmids (stick and leaf insects). Stick insects belong, together with walking leaves, to the phasmatodea.

For many years, people have been busy describing the stick insect species. This is mainly done by the people of the Phasmid Study Group, also known as PSG. They place these species after careful research in the psg-list. Stick and leaf insects are remarkable animals because most of them are very well camouflaged : like psg 1, Carausius morosus. Others are brightly colored and very active. Phasmids

are nocturnal herbivores, meaning they only eat plants and they do that at night. The most popular foodplants are : bramble, ivy and privet. Before you put your animals in a terarium, butterfly cage or faunabox you should first check if you can keep them. The cage must be minimum 3 times higher than the length of the mature animal, and 2 times wider. Otherwise, the insects won't be able to molt. And that's necessary, because stick and leaf insects do this to grow. The males of stick and leaf insects are faster mature and smaller than the females. Room temperature is warm enough for most phasmids even though most of them are found in tropical areas around the equator and even in southern Europe.

✨ Last night, the took place at Grand Casino Knokke. An award show for, by, and in honor of Belgian influencers. And thanks to you I was there as well, since you nominated Phasmedia in the category ‘Nature and Sustainability’ 🌿.

💋 Unfortunately, I didn't get to take home a beautiful red kiss trophy. But seeing my name appear on the screen gave me an indescribable feeling. I am very proud and happy with this recognition of many years of hard work. And I cannot express my gratitude enough to everyone who followed and supported me throughout all those years! An additional big thank you to for helping me to network and get out of my comfort zone!🙏

🎉 Congratulations to all the nominees and especially to the winners of the evening!

💎 And a special congratulations to VAN KRIEKEN x LLUKAJ for the beautiful walking leaf brooch. Such incredible craftsmanship! I felt honored to wear it and it completed my outfit perfectly!
