Leaf insects — Leaf insect A–Z
Leaf insects (family Phylliidae) are flat, green phasmids that mimic foliage so convincingly they rock and sway as they walk, kept as living displays rather than hands-on pets. They need a steady year-round supply of fresh bramble, oak or guava leaves, daily misting for humidity, and a well-ventilated cage taller than the insect is long so it can molt safely. Compare temperament and care needs, then find the breed that fits your home.
