Changing Leaf Complete Set

With our “Suspense Until Hatching” bundle, you can experience the fascinating development of Phyllium gantungense “Rizal” right from the start. Instead of receiving fully grown creatures, your adventure begins with the eggs. After the incubation period, you can watch as the first tiny leaf insects hatch and slowly develop into perfectly camouflaged leaf insects.

It is precisely this special moment that makes the bundle so exciting. The anticipation grows every day until, suddenly, the first young animals appear in the terrarium.

Included in the bundle

• Insektenliebe phasmid complete set
• 10 Phyllium gantungense “Rizal” eggs

This gives you everything you need to get started with keeping these extraordinary walking leaves.

Incubation – The most exciting time begins

The eggs contained are already in the final stage of their development. Under the right conditions, the remaining incubation period is currently only about 2 to 4 weeks.

During this time, the eggs should be kept at temperatures between 22 and 26 °C. At the same time, slightly higher humidity ensures that the young can develop optimally.

Checking the eggs every day is what makes it so exciting, because hatching often happens completely out of the blue. In the morning, the eggs may still look unchanged, but just a few hours later, the first tiny caterpillars are already crawling among the plants.

The first few days after hatching

After hatching, the young already exhibit the leaf-like shape typical of their species. At the same time, they are initially much smaller and more delicate than adult specimens.

The included complete phasmid kit provides the perfect environment for the nymphs right from the start. The built-in food vase keeps blackberry or raspberry branches fresh longer, while the excellent ventilation ensures a healthy environment.

This allows the newly hatched animals to focus directly on eating and growing.

Phyllium gantungense “Rizal” – A special local variety

Phyllium gantungense “Rizal” is native to the Philippines and is one of the most beautiful leaf-mimicking insects in existence. These insects have broad leaf lobes, delicate veins, and impressive camouflage.

Females, in particular, develop an unusually leaf-like shape, allowing them to become nearly invisible among the host plants.

During the day, the animals usually rest, well camouflaged among the leaves. It is not until evening that they become more active and begin to feed.
