W/C Heteropteryx dilitata - Adult Female (already mated) + 2 Large male nymphs

Jungle Nymphs
These specimens are wild caught and have been imported to improve and strengthen our captive blood lines. The imports are all brought through a border inspection post and animal health certificates are issued as well as the collectors also having permits.
 
***Please note that these females are already mated and we are out of stock on adult males - We will however include 2 large male nymphs which should mature in the next couple of months (these females can live anywhere up to 12 months so the males should catch up to them - though the lifespans are much more difficult to predict for Wild Caught animals)  - females will always be sent as mature adult females - it doesnt take long for the males to catch up in size***
 
A large, long lived species which can live for up to 12 months as adults. They can be handled but this must be done with care as they are quite prickly.
Food plant - Bramble, Dog Rose and Ivy (Ivy should be used sparingly - not as the main diet)
Egg development - up to 12 months
Nymph to adult development time - 9 - 12 months
Adult females can live for up to 12 months although I have had females exceed 15 months as adults. Whereas, males tend to live between 4 - 6 months.
