Nice shot! I can never get a clear photo of my little ones; every time I come close with the camera they start shaking. :/
I see the left side of her 'leaf' seems a bit ragged... Is it natural or has she been chewed on by her siblings?

It could have indeed been done by here siblings but since it is very fragile it could also be cause by the thorns of the plants I feed them.

Hm, I've never thought they were so fragile; they look delicate but I've noticed they're in fact quite... hardy. Mine has lived through a lot and are quite well now.
What do you feed yours with? Blackberry leaves?

Probably one of the strangest insects I've ever seen. It's frightening and beautiful at the same time.
