the males have no spines and they have wings when matured and the females have spines and have miniature wings.
its a bit strange that they are called spiny leaf insects if the male isn't even spiny!
Hope this helps!

What is the difference between a stick insect and a leaf insect?
Stick insects belong to the family of Phasmatidae, while leaf insects belong to Phylliidae. Both are from the order of Phasmatodea, and are therefore easily confused. For example, Extatosoma Tiaratum is commonly known by the name 'Spiny Leaf Stick Insect'. Having 'Leaf' in the name can confuse it with the family Phylliidae, though it's actually a Phasmid. For this reason, when researching, and writing reports, it's important to be certain of which family an insect belongs to. If you want a simple answer, stick insects tend to look more like sticks, and leaf insects like leaves, though again, they can be easily confused.

What you need to care for a stick insects?
A tall plastic, glass tank or polistirene foam box, ideally the height being three times the stick insect species you are going to keep. This gives the stick insect ample space to moult as they usually hang vertically while doing this. A water sprayer is also necessary to give the sticks some moisture and to keep the enclosure humid (DO NOT SPRAY THEM BECAUSE IT WILL INFLICT PAIN). Some species need spraying every day, and some only need a light spraying of water every few days. Some, more exotic species need extra heating(E.g. Goliath stick insect and Spiny Leaf Stick Insect), soil at the bottom in order to bury eggs (E.g. Giant Spiny Stick Insect) and even a small, shallow water dish to drink out of.
