i absolutely adore the jungle nymphs and sorry your one died.
do you sell young sticks? am after some phobaeticus serratipes if you know of any going.
how large do the giant thorny get in comparison to the maclay's?

the females get nearly as long , but no where near as heavy.
the males get about the same , but t.b males dont have wings therefore no flying
