Notes
Our Sipyloidea caeca originate from rainforests near Kuranda, QLD.

Siplyoidea caeca can fly and as there name implies are quite delicate. When handling extra care should be taken.
Due to similarities with Sipyloidea species especially while immature, this species should not be kept with other Sipyloidea species. They can be easily mixed up and can be hard to seperate apart.
