Do females stick insects need a male to lay eggs?
Some stick insect species do have the males and females sexes, but other species do not. It really depends on the exact species as to how they reproduce. For example, the best known stick insects are the Indian Stick Insect (also known as the Laboratory Stick Insect). These can grow to around 10cm (4 inches). They are known to reproduce parthenogenically, a word that means an unfertilized egg is capable of hatching into a new individual. Males of this species are unrecorded, although gynandromorphs are quite common. Gynandromorph meaning having both male and female parts.

How do stick insects reproduce?
Most captive Indian stick insects can and do reproduce in the absence of a male (parthenogenetic reproduction). The insect (female) will lay hundreds of tiny (0.08 inch or 2 mm) eggs over her life. These are smooth and round and must be separated form the feces at the bottom of the cage. Populations of stick insects which still live in the wild in India where the males are much more common breed in a conventional fashion. Here the mail fertilities the eggs and they and while the females can reproduce parthenogeneticaly, there are probably good genetic reasons for this since without normal sexual reproduction the species would be expected to lose genetic diversity over time and therefore be unable to adapt and evolve.
How many stick insects can be kept in one tank?
This depends on how big the tank is, and how big the stick insects are. Generally, the stick insects need enough room to be able to move around, eat and most importantly, shed. A stick insect needs a tank three times the height as it so they have sufficient room when moulting. A moult can go horribly wrong if the stick insect hasn't got enough space.
