The Phasmid Study Group is the society for anyone with an interest in Stick and Leaf insects, however amateur or professional you may be, you will be welcome. The pupose of the group is to encourage studies of all aspects of PHASMIDS (Stick and Leaf Insects).
Since its formation early in 1980, The Phasmid Study Group has expanded to more than 500 members in 23 countries, including people of all ages ranging from beginners to professional entomologists. Since Phasmids have recieved little attention until recently there is considerable scope for the amateur to contribute valuable information.

Stick-insects are amazing, beautiful, generally easy to keep, and a lot of fun for both children and adults. For more information see the Order Phasmida.
