Phyllium gantungense "Rizal" Nymphs – Captive-Bred
Phyllium gantungense "Rizal" is a magnificent leaf insect species native to Rizal in the Philippines. It is popular among enthusiasts due to its unique behaviour, which includes the ability of adults to release a lemon-like scent, an aroma that interestingly resembles the smell of sweets.

- Foodplant: Feeding well on bramble; also accepts oak and salal species
- Temperature: 20–26 °C. Room temperature is usually fine
- Humidity: 60–80% – mist enclosure daily or every other day
- Enclosure: Minimum 30 × 30 × 45 cm (W*L*H). Extra height preferred for moulting and climbing
