General A new book ( in German) about the breeding of Phasmids has just been published by members of the internet-forum www.Stabschrecken.com.
This nice book provides information on the breeding of 49 species that are currently being cultured in Europe. It does not restrict to species, that are in culture for several years already, but also covers species that are fairly new in European cultures and some of which are very specialised feeders. In addition to the breeding of species, the book offers comprehensive info on the biology, morphology, construction of cages and other methods for successfully breeding Phasmids.
For more info or obtaining the book have a look at: Literature >> Books about Phasmids
