SCIENTIFIC NAME
If the insect has not been classified to species level, this column gives the common name which has been used in the Newsletters.
NOTE
1. BREEDING:
S = Sexual. P = Parthenogenetic. P* = Parthenogenetic in culture, believed to be sexual in the wild.
2. CULTURE STATUS: (Based on Spring 1997 census returns)
C = At least one established culture reported. T = Tentative culture. L = Lost (no cultures reported).
3. SIZE OF SPECIES:
S = up to 10cm. M = 10 to 15cm. L = over 15cm.
4. WINGS:
W = at least one sex can fly or glide. w = Wings present in one or both sexes but neither sex can fly. PREFERRED FOODPLANTS
Where a species is known to have a very clear preference and difficulties are known to be common when other plants are used, the first plant listed is the preferred foodplant and is recommended for starting newly hatched nymphs. The list is not comprehensive, most species which eat bramble will also eat hawthorn, pyracantha, raspberry, rose and other members of the Rosaceae.
A. = Acacia. B. = Bramble. E. = Eucalyptus. F. = Ferns. Fu. = Fuchsia H. = Hawthorn. I. = Ivy. L. = Legumes. O. = Oak. P. = Privet. Py. = Pyracantha. Ra. = Raspberry. Rb. = Robinia. Rh.= Rhododendron. Ro. = Rose. SPECIES REPORT
This column gives the number of the Newsletter or Phasmid Studies in which there has been a report on the culture. Full reports in the Newsletter are shown by the issue number only eg. 47. A number in brackets gives the issue and page number of a brief note in the Newsletter eg. (63:3). Items in Phasmid Studies are shown by the letter P followed by the volume and page number eg. P1:2. Reports in Le Monde des Phasmes are shown by the letter M followed by the volume and page number eg. M29:15, these are only given if a report has not appeared in Phasmid Studies or the Newsletter. STATUS OF CULTURES
The culture status column is based on the census returns of 1997, with modifications where the status is known to have changed. Few census forms were returned so several of those marked as lost may still be in culture; the following are the most likely to be still in culture: 31, 58, 66, 86, 178. It is possible that some of those marked as established cultures may also have been lost. Please check this column before requesting livestock and make sure you DO NOT REQUEST STOCK OF LOST CULTURES - they are not available! HUMIDITY
The following is a general guide to the preferences of species. The desirable conditions may vary depending on the age of the insects, in particular, adults and large nymphs may prefer lower humidity to small nymphs. If you are starting with a species which is new to you then check where the culture originated and find out what the natural climate is like.
1. High humidity required (i.e. almost fully enclosed). All Heteropteryginae and Eurycanthinae.
2. Quite high humidity recommended. Most species from tropical rainforests, e.g. Borneo, New Guinea, Java, Peru. However, very large species and winged species from these areas may prefer slightly lower humidity.
3. Low humidity essential (i.e. a very well ventilated cage, e.g. all netting). All European species (Bacillus & Clonopsis).
4. Lowish humidity desirable (known to suffer in high humidity): Baculum insignis.
5. Moderate humidity generally acceptable. All other species.
6. Different people have very differing opinions about Phyllium spp.
NEW CULTURES Please notify Phil Bragg if you have a species established in culture which is not on the list. To try to avoid confusion between similar species, new cultures will only be added once He has a specimen of either the egg or adult.
