Jungle Nymph Dilitata Mounting
250.00 per person
Among the largest insects in the world, (up to 8 inches long!) these are relatives of the typical stick insect, but they pack a hefty punch. Here she is, Heteropteryx dilatata. These ladies are so large they actually have to be stuffed! Each participant will go home with their very own mounted jungle nymph, with care instructions for addition to your collection. We will cover dynamic life like poses as well as standard museum displays. Take a look at our “Mounting Minutia” class for instruction on how to use your specimen in custom dioramas. Displays can be provided at an additional fee. Also take a peek at our other arthropod mounting workshops. A note of caution…These babies are pretty pokey, you will want to take care handling them, its kind of like arranging a rose bouquet.
Heteropteryx is a monotypic genus of stick insects containing Heteropteryx dilatata as the only described species.[3][4] and gives its name to the family of the Heteropterygidae. Their only species may be known as jungle nymph, Malaysian stick insect, Malayan jungle nymph, or Malayan wood nymph and because of their size it is commonly kept in zoological institutions and private terrariums of insect lovers. It originates from the Malay Archipelago and is nocturnal. (from wiki)
