My male and female horse head grasshoppers.(subadults)

[macro junkie]

Who can help me find out which is male and which is female?im gueesing the brown one is male.?

By any chance do these guys feed on bramble? I was wondering if you could mix them with stick insects, namely Extatosoma Tiaratum(Macleay's Spectres).

Never seen them for sale though apart from ova occasionally, are they very pricey?

Sorry to ask questions and not answer yours, to be honest I doubt may her keep them You'd be better off asking over at bugnation.

Personally though I'd say if their both subadults then which ever one is noticably larger then the other is the female. Like in mantids I've seen pics of these and the female is noticeably bigger and a bit more bulky. I suppose that makes me say the brown is female as it's body seems twice as thick as the blueish one. Which is longer?

Sure are lol really cool. Are they too delicate to handle at all or like macleay's are they sturdy enough to take it without losing limbs like some of the very long thin sticks can.
