Myronides glaucus is a striking stick insect species native to Peleng Island, off the east coast of Sulawesi. Known for its long antennae and slender build, it shows strong sexual dimorphism: nymphs of both sexes are bright green, adult females develop either a vivid turquoise or green‑yellow form, while males mature into a dark brown. A wingless species reaching around 97 mm in females and 70 mm in males, it thrives on bramble and related plants and is well‑established in captive culture.
These can be quite delicate and do occasionally loose legs. These will grow back.

Ordered a Peleng sticm insect for my stick insect obsessed son, I was abit bemused by having it delivered by royal mail at half 7 at night however the stick insect was alive and thriving! Will deffo be looking to order more in the future especially as the prices are really fair. Thanks so much :)

Stick insects arrived happy and healthy, and in good time. A good size as well.
