For those who wished to receive “stick insect eggs”  these will be posted as soon as we have more eggs to share.  We were rather overwhelmed by the request, so know these will be forth coming in due course. Instructions for the care of your eggs and stick insects can be found at https://australian.museum/learn/animals/insects/care-of-stick-insects/ Know the ideal time to hatch them is spring, so there is ample time to get them to you.

We trust you enjoyed EASL as much as we enjoyed being part of it as we are passionate about what we do, and always love to support teachers and students through hands on, interactive incursions and excursions and Teacher Professional Development.

Until next time our paths cross, all the best!
Anne-Maree and the Team at Gould League
