Yaya with her Goliath Stick insect: Week 1

Yaya came home yesterday with a bag containing some gum tree leaves (eucalyptus tree) and a small transparent plastic bottle in it. "Mak mak.... I have a stick insect...look"....and she started giving me instructions and an a piece of paper describing what she has to do with it.

"Your child has been given a live stick insect egg that could hatch over the next few weeks. Stick insects are fun and easy to care for, just follow the simple instructions below"...

First we need to transfer the egg to a bigger container and provide a good ventilation. Done
Then place a moistened tissue next to the egg to prevent from drying. Done
Next...wait for the egg to hatch within 3 to 4 weeks.

Lets see what will happen next week.

yours truly,
