Cyclone Larry Stick Insect (Sipyloidea larryi)

Discovered in North Queensland after the 2006 cyclone, these unique phasmids were blown down from the high rainforest canopy into the hobbyist world. With their slender profiles, gentle nature, and fully formed wings, they are a fascinating, low-maintenance pet perfect for beginners and seasoned keepers alike.

Key Features

  • Active Flyers: Adults develop beautiful wings and fly with a soft, fairy-like flutter.

  • Easy Breeding: Females are parthenogenetic and can lay fertile eggs without a mate.

  • Gentle Nature: Calm and easy to handle, though they prefer to climb upward.

Quick Care Guide

  • Diet: Fresh Eucalyptus (gum), Lilly Pilly, or Guava leaves.

  • Water: Mist leaves daily with water for them to drink. Do not use water bowls.

  • Enclosure: A tall, well-ventilated mesh enclosure (minimum 30cm x 30cm x 40cm). Height is critical for safe moulting.

  • Temperature: Room temperature (18°C - 26°C).
