Children have a lot of interesting hobbies but breeding stick bugs stands out there as very different. This boy was invited to bring them in to show his class. He was telling Peter that the original stick bugs that he purchased started to lay eggs. These he carefully collected and kept warm for months. Apparently the eggs may not hatch for years, so when they did after just a few months, he was set. He moved from collector to breeder. Now he feels that one of his new females is about to lay and is getting ready to catch those eggs as they fall using sheets of tissue across the base of the enclosure. It is all pretty amazing stuff and he knows so much about it now thanks to the internet.
