Stick Insects

Yeah, its illegal over here, CALM pushed pretty hard when they raided as far as inverts go because they had been told i kept them. Its a joke, but unfortunately its the law.

Yeah, Dave Knowles is a great bloke, been on quite a few bush runs and helped him out with Fauna Surveys in the past. Worth seeing one of his and Fleurs shows, he normally has a couple of stick species. Plus scorps, T's, roaches and other beasties.

I saw a stick insect in the wild... ooooooh i hear you saying.. I rescured it from the water while fishing after it had been dropped by a black bird of some description.

I didn't realise it was in fact a stick insect at first... Thought it was just a stick that the bird was using for a nest... it kept coming back to retrieve it - but kept missing, hence I thought I was helping the bird by removing it from the water, wasn't until I did that that i actually realised it was a stick insect... Sorry, this story doesn't have a happy ending and nor is it on the topic...

Good luck with stick insect keeping

bad luck jen, insects are not legally allowed to be kept as pets in W.A.
I have to introduce you to a friend of mine. David Knowles runs "Spineless Wonders" and he has some cool bugs. (even more than I keep in my hair)

Man what a shame, that's such an odd rule.
Definately wanna see these guys in the flesh though! even though you know me and bugs lol *shiver*

Woh what are you serious? Which areas aren't allowed to keep what types of scorpions/spiders?
