Description
Extatosoma tiaratum is found from NSW’s central coast to FNQ, in the wild they can be found on a range of native plants but in captivity Eucalyptus is the best food source.
- Hatchlings are dark brown with a red head and move around rapidly.
- After a moult they are a more uniform brown colour but with a slightly noticeable colour difference towards the head.
- After that they become light brown with prominent bumps and spines all over the body.
Adult females resemble juveniles but more spiny and robust.
Males are slender and possess full wings rendering them capable of short, slow flight.

This is my first time to have these spiny leaf insects, I ordered male and female. They arrived in 3 days using express post, kind of worried but they survived. I thought they are all females because the orange one looks like female, sent email to bugfrenzy and got the answer. No it’s male actually. Communication was good! Will buy from bugfrenzy again.
It’s been 6 days, the insects are happy and healthy in their new home.

My Two beautiful spiny leaf insects arrived in perfect health and have settled into their enclosure. They have given my classroom children a lot of excitement and they are so keen to look after them. My adult son has fallen in love with them and has already claimed them as his pets once they leave the classroom. Here they are just about to go into their new home! thank you so much

Super happy! They arrived within 48 hours of being posted which I was surprised at as I live in a rural area, and 2 weeks later everyone is still happy and thriving! I received two boys and a girl, each with their own unique personality and I just adore them!
