Biological observations Several eggs of this species hatched and nymphs were reared in captivity using ferns (Dryopteridacea), which seem to be their natural foodplant. Substitute plants like bramble ( Rubus L. spp., Rosaceae ), beech ( Fagus sylvatica L., Fagaceae ) and Hypericum L. spp. ( Hypericaceae ) are also well accepted in captivity in Europe. This species is easy to maintain in captivity. Females try to stick their eggs into cracks and holes. Sponges cut into slices are suitable as substrate for this ( Fig. 9T ). Only few eggs will lay on the cage floor (pers. comm. B. Kneubühler, Jan. 2015 ). To collect eggs from wild caught females, paper tissue was used as substrate for egg laying. Males are capable of stridulating, but in order to do so, they have to completely open their wings. When wings are open, the alae are not flat as in most stick insects, but have the outer margin curved downwards ( Fig. 9J ). By rubbing the outer margins of the tegmina against the subcostal and radial veins of the alae they are able to produce sound. The stridulation occurs when the specimens are disturbed.
