Extatosoma tiaratum, the Australian ghost grasshopper, looks like a dry leaf among the twigs. It feeds on plants and needs, above all, fresh, uncontaminated foliage as well as enough open space to molt. Even before you buy one, you should know where you can get food for it year-round. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
