The species originates from the   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">tropical rainforests of Malaysia<\/span><span class=\"s2\">which is why it needs a warm and humid climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The females reach a considerable size and appear particularly massive due to their strong physique.  <\/span><span class=\"s2\">The males remain much slimmer and more agile, and this creates an exciting difference within the species.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The behavior of <\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">Heteropteryx dilatata<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\">  They are mainly quiet during the day, when they are well camouflaged on branches. As soon as it gets darker, the animals become active and then start to eat or move around. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">For keeping, we recommend a <\/span><span class=\"s1\">a well-ventilated, rather high terrarium<\/span><span class=\"s2\">as the animals have to climb and hang themselves freely to molt. For a pair you should have at least   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">40 \u00d7 40 \u00d7 60 cm<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> although more space is always an advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Ideally, you should keep the temperatures at <\/span><span class=\"s1\">24-28 \u00b0C<\/span><span class=\"s2\">while they may drop slightly at night. At the same time, the   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">humidity should be around 70-80 % so that<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> so that the animals can moult without any problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">You can achieve these values by spraying the terrarium regularly. This creates small drops of water that are actively absorbed by the animals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">This species is pleasantly uncomplicated when it comes to feeding. Particularly suitable are   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Blackberry leaves<\/span><span class=\"s2\">which are reliably eaten. In addition, you can also  <\/span><span class=\"s1\">oak or other suitable leaves<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> so that a varied diet is created.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">It is important that you always offer fresh food, as the animals react sensitively to old or dry leaves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The female shows a special behavior when disturbed. It can spread its hind legs and make a   <\/span><span class=\"s1\">defensive behavior<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  show. At the same time, however, the animals are not aggressive, but rather rely on deterrence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Due to their <\/span><span class=\"s1\">size, her calm demeanor and her impressive appearance<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> is <\/span><strong><span class=\"s1\">Heteropteryx dilatata<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s2\"> is an ideal choice for keepers who want to keep a large and fascinating animal.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heteropteryx dilatata &#8211; The impressive giant ghost insect Heteropteryx dilatata also known as the jungle nymph, is one of the largest and most impressive spectral terrorsthat you can keep in a terrarium.
