According to google adults don’t eat. I don’t know how long they live. Or whether we have a male or female. We put it in a roomy, real smooth box. Tomorrow we will give it a few tiny twigs and leaves but I think really, it is just a matter of time before it expires, poor baby.

What a beautiful creature!
