It looks like Anamsky, but with a long mustache. Here's a picture of the little one:

I saw adults, just like straws, including in color.

Tell me the exact name and, if possible, recommendations for content or links to the source in i-nete.
Thank you in advance.

Similar to Sipyloidea sipylus. If adults are winged and stink funny, if you take it in your hands, then it's definitely him. They eat the same as Annam, but are more tender, so they are demanding of humidity.

Thank you for your advice. Adults are really winged, Pravdo didn't smell them.

I myself, having wandered around the Internet, had suspicions that this is a Musk stickworm (Sipyloidea sipylus) that's where I found its description: http://old.ptichka.ru/ptichka/16552
I also read that this is a rather rare species. Is it true?

Thank you again, I will grow it.

P. S. By the way, if anyone needs these zhivelki in Minsk, please contact us, how to breed, I will share.

In Moscow, it is not particularly rare, you can always get it.
Good luck growing, do not forget about humidity - you need to spray often, otherwise they will die during molting.

I live 4re anamskih stick insects, feed on rose hips. For the whole life of their molted 3 times, about once a month. Leaving for the summer, I gave the sticks to a friend,now I arrived almost two months later and found that the sticks had never shed during this time, besides, they somehow turned pale. And one more strange thing - the bottom of the terrarium was covered with a newspaper that by my arrival was gnawed by stick insects (a piece of ~ 10x5 cm), and a third of all the bowel movements of stick insects are white (apparently there is a newspaper).... is this normal??? confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif

Hardly normal. Do you feed your poor pets only with wild rose hips? I also keep Annamese, but their diet also includes blackberries, raspberries, oak, linden, cherry, tradescantia and golden mustache, and all this alternates. And the bottom of the cage is covered not with newspaper, but with a mixture of sand and soil, which is regularly moistened.

Discoloration, especially in orthopteroids, often indicates either a disease caused by microorganisms or endoparasites, or a violation in physiology. Another indicator is molting disorder.

Apparently, your friend either gave them to him, forgot about them, or fed them poorly. Because when there is enough food, and if a lot of leaves are in a jar or other container (and the humidity is normal), stick insects grow well. Rosehip leaves are too tough for me, even though I'm not a stickman. In the summer it is better to give raspberries. But already in the fall, rosehip and blackberries, they last longer, and if we have warm winters, then blackberries can generally be in December and in January. A change in color, this is not good, prednaznamenatel near death (I think it's micro-organisms, usually stick insects sprinkle with small white spots and a little dark). But if you resume good care, they can recover and move on with their lives. This is from personal observations.

I feed only rosehip, because raspberries do not grow anywhere in the vicinity, and I do not want to experiment with other plants))
