Hi name is Mike Thomas, i'm studying science and love cicada's, phasmids and reptiles.

I have a few pythons and lizards but not a big collection. I go nymphing for cicadas every summer.

Welcome to APS mike,
What species of phasmids do you keep?

 

[doubledrummer]

I don't actually keep any i just like them, i see a lot around the bush and am thinking of keeping them someday.

Next time i go nymphing i will take some pictures.

I love cicada's! I've noticed less and less coming up each year though
They say they can wait in the ground for years until the conditions are right?

Welcome to the forum I really like cicadas too lol - my fav insect (along with dragonflies).

yeah I have noticed a serious decline in cicadas around my area too. When I was little they were everywhere - now you hadly see a shell
I read somewhere they can take 17 years to mature underground :shock: They spend most their lives down there and only emerge at the end of their life to mate.

I don't know if this is appropriate to do - but here's my best impression of a cicada and dragon fly photographer

and:

Not actually sure what that one above is...

I had more dragon flies - but not uploaded - so hey... Welcome to the site
