Goliath Stick Insects (Eurycnema goliath) are one of Australia’s largest and heaviest stick insects. Females can grow up to 20cm long. They are a popular pet being easy to care for and harmless.

The female Goliath Stick Insects are "Juveniles" which means they have had one "shed" or "malt" of their skins. They will go through a number of these before becoming adults and ready to breed and express their eggs.

The males can fly short distances and are much smaller than the females who cannot fly (males are not available at this time)

Goliath Stick Insects feed mainly on eucalyptus (gum) and acacia (wattle) leaves. They require an enclosure of minimum size 35 cm tall x 30cm x 40cm and room temperature of 18 to 28deg C.

The Goliath S tick Insect is widespread throughout Australia's east coast in New South Wales and southern Queensland. Small populations have also been reported in northern Queensland and Tasmania. They can be encountered within bushland, rainforests and in green spaces such as parks and gardens.
