*********************************
At home I keep Indian Stick Insects (Carausius Morosus) as pets which gave me the idea of taking them into group and doing a craft about them! The Indian stick insect is a olive green colour and when it is fully grown they get a red colour on their front legs. They have a life span of around 1 year and grow to about 3" after 5-6 skin moults from hatching. I usually feed them Privet, Bramble and Willow but they can eat other things too.
