Stick Insects By Tamati

The stick insect is a camouflaged creature and like every other insect has predators so they stay very still during the day. Stick insects are also nocturnal creatures just like the kiwi.

The stick insect has six legs and they have suckers on the end of their legs, two antennae,two eyes and a really long body.

Stick insects are found all the way across the world but most come from the far east. In New Zealand we sometimes find them in our houses,in the bush or on trees.

Most stick insects are females and they don't need a male to mate to have babies. Stick insects have their babies out of their mouths. Stick insects lie very still
on nice juicy leaves. They put their two front legs forward by their heads while their other four legs are planted firmly on the branch.
