But honestly not sure if it is eating or not... It is a South African long antennae species (Quite possibly Bactrododema tiaratum) and the food group which it should be used to is Acacia. I feed it sugar water and water droplets daily. The eggs hatched 2 years after they were deposited in a snake tank which contained no plant matter. The insect somehow survived and Im now trying to determine what to feed it. I'v tried acacia, rose, raspberry and grass as possible food sources. I just cant say whether it's been eating or not... Do you have any suggestion on this matter?

It usually dies when caught in a spider web or trampled on. If one shows up this year I think I'd like to rescue it, but how do you feed it when it is winter and there are no leaves to be had?

I would never have thought of them as pets. They are quite fascinating to watch, though. I remember stick insects from school, where we had a tank full of them in the classroom.
