Adults get 6- 7inches long. They are green, pink, and winged at maturity. Males are not know to exist in captivity, but mostly reproduction consists of parthenogenesis. Nymphs hatch from the oothecae over a period of time, rather than the all at once. Oothecae can take as long as 4 months from the first to the last nymph hatching. They prefer to be kept at 80°- 81°F.

Diet: Drosophila, houseflies, crickets, flour worms. The feed must be very diversified. To the newly hatched larvae must be promptly offered Drosophila flies.
