What is this?


I just got offered some from the pet shop for free, im getting them tommorow, supposidly they are easy to look after, so im getting them tommorow. Is there anyway of sending them via post, not the eggs, but the actual thing!!
How much are they worth?

Thanks
Anthony

£5 a nymph! Bloody hell, I paid £5 for 14 adults when I had mine.

Seriously, these things are uber common, I wouldn't pay much for one at all. Once you have them, they form almost plague like numbers pretty quickly. I think on eBay i've seen them at about 50p-£1 each.
