Mnesilochus sp. "Mt. Halcon" Finally Adult!

Hi everyone

Happy 2015! May the new year bring lots of success with your phasmids and all other critters that you keep too.

Just before the end of 2014, my Mnesilochus sp. "Mt. Halcon" completed their final moult to adulthood so I am super amped to get some eggs from this species! Hopefully in the next few weeks I will start getting ova. One of the females is already VERY plump so it's only a matter of time.

Here are a few pics. First the adult male. They have this very strange posture where they raise the head and tail end, almost forming a U-shape. Very unusual.


The this is one of the newly matured adult females. Very good stick/twig mimics.




I hope you enjoyed the post!
