Gratidia sp. (PSG 206)

   This is a neat species for me for the simple fact that it is my only species from Tanzania (making them the only African species I have ever kept).  I imagine they will look similar to the other Phasmid species of Gratidia I have kept (PSG 183).  Ova are similar to the other Gratidia spp., but smaller.  They are also glued to various surfaces.

Foodplants:  bramble, rose
