My stick insects have created newer, smaller stick insects and I'd like you to see them.

This is a mother. Observe the blur that is her dancin' arms. I've five of them, all girls. Parapachymorpha zomproi, originally from Thailand, they're happy to be handled and they're interesting and easy to care for, eating brambles, hawthorne, rose and generally most things that stab you. They'll also eat certain oak and eucalyptus.

This is one on the day I first got them. I was tasked to care for them as they were unwanted, and I figured, aye, I'll give it a shot. They moult about six times before adulthood - this girl has about four moults left to do before maturity.

Zomproi are both sexual and non-sexual. My sticks are all girls, but they still lay eggs, mostly to simply jettison weight, but a low percentage of them are parthenogenetic, meaning that they will yield young, and they'll be genetic clones of their parent. Phasmid eggs have a little hatch (see the top-most egg) that pops open.

And here's a freshly hatched baby, a nymph. I put ~100 eggs aside to raise, and I've already got five nymphs. The gestation period is around 4-5 months.

Thank you, if you looked at my girls. I love them, I just want to gush about them a lot.

Edit, I was asked to see a moult, so here's a skin: https://i.imgur.com/ClQQ5LJ.jpg

They hang upside down to moult, so you must make sure there's vertical space for it to happen. They slide out of their old skin head first, and once they're out, they eat it. Rarely, like above, one will be left to pick out, but mostly, when you clean their house, you'll find some moulted leg bits at the bottom.
