Stick Insects

 Have you ever heard of a stick with legs? Stick insects are a type of insect that looks like a stick. They come in 2 main colours which are brown and green.

 Insects are a class of hexapod invertebrates that have exoskeletons, 6 legs, antennae and 3 main body parts: the head, the thorax and the abdomen. The antennae of the stick insect are really long and the body is long and thin and so are the legs and the head is really small. The order of stick insects is Phasmatodea.

 Stick insects look like branches and cannot easily be seen. If you look a a photo of a stick insect, you can barely see it.

 Stick insects live in shrubs, trees, plants and bushes. They mainly eat the leaves of the plant that they live in. The size of the stick insects are 55 Centimeters!

Why I like stick insects

Stick insects are interesting for me because they are really good at camouflaging into other bushes and it is a good thing when it comes to playing hide and seek.
