Yep we used to keep them as pets as kids for a bit before letting them go (wouldn't do it nowadays!), in those small plastic fish tank things with the ventilated lids. Don't hear of them now.

Oh yeah I bought my lad a stick insect after I had to look after one from the school during the summer holidays...I thought you meant they lived wild in hedges in Britain.

British Wrestling was bigger than American Wrestling and was one of the nations most loved entertainment pastimes, where hundreds and thousands of people would attend shows up and down the country, almost every night and millions would watch on the telly every week.

The type often found as a pet, the laboratory stick-insect, does not appear to survive long in the wild in the UK. Colonies found in the summer, usually on privet hedges where they have been dumped by mums and dads, disappear in the winter, killed by the frost.24 Aug 2008




Who goes about dumping piles of insects ffs...is this what the schools do if nobody takes them home for the summer.... I'm utterly baffled...
