The needs of phasmid species may change when being cultured over several generations. Some species may become easier to be cultured, others even more difficult - and also the food plant spectrum might change somewhat

Therefore the following care sheets are suggestions, based on my experience. But other breeders might find that some species will also flourish well under quite different conditions. This is not a contradiction per se, rather this speaks for the tolarance many phasmid species display towards a wide range of microclimatic factors

Little to nothing is known about the basic needs of phasmids in their natural habitat - unfortunately

I recommend to read my general descriptions on how to breed phasmids, as well as Oskar's and Frank's notes on breeding phasmids. Some of the basic factors will not be mentioned in each care sheet over and over again - nevertheless they might be important as well
