No, not at all! Nearly all stick insect species are harmless and are not toxic. However, the Two-Striped Walking Stick (Anisomorpha buprestoides) is said to have a defensive spray that can cause temporary blindness if caught in the eyes. Other stick insect species can also spray but have no harmful effects.

No, they are harmless to humans.

The only stick insect that is classed as potentially harmful is the Two-Striped Walking Stick (Anisomorpha buprestoides). This species occurs throughout Florida and around the Gulf Coastal Plain west to Texas. It is said to have a defensive spray that can cause temporary blindness if caught in the eyes.

Not at all! Indian Stick Insects, like all stick insects, cannot bite as their mouths are specially developed for eating and cutting the edges of leaves. Indian sticks do not have a defensive spray like Peruphasma Schultei stick insects or Macleay's Spectre, nor to they have any sharp spines or spikes. Indian Stick Insects are completely harmless.
