Lamponius guerini (PSG 101) This is a stick-insect from Guadeloupe (Island). Females have similar patterning, with different intensities of color. Here are two female adult pets (named Davina and Vickie), and ova. These are very active stick-insects when held, and don't seem to mind it at all. They will eat many different things. I believe the white on brown coloration is selected adaptation which mimics bird-droppings, or possibly lichen. So, they look like unappetizing sticks. Foodplants: bramble, ivy, oak, pear, raspberry, red maple, rose
