Booma

So this Booma, who I liked to think of as my little mini-beast

friend. Booma & Ranga were my two pet leaf insects who sadly passed away last. year. They made great low maintenance pets! A cluster of gum leaves, spray their enclosure with some water mist every couple of days and they were happy campers. They liked going out to play now and then, in some of the potted plants around the yard. Ranga, the female, used to like play acting the scene from Titanic and hanging from my fingers, arms into the wind. She was Rose, and I was, ahmmm, the Titanic. Bonus thing is they were great for terrifying some of the lady neighbours too 😉 I miss my cute little mini-beasty friends

 

Fun facts about leaf insects:

- they walk in a rocking motion, and when they are in amongst the leaves, they sway to imitate the wind blowing on real leaves.

- If no males are around, the female is able to reproduce by herself.

 

If you are wondering about their names, think about them in the context of stick insects

 

Happy humpday all 😀
