The water stick insect breathes oxygen even though it can swim under water. It has a long tube that comes off its back through which it inhales and exhales.

Do water stick insect have gills to breathe in water?

Stick insects do not live in water. However, insects that live permanently submerged in water for part of their lives (such as mayfly larva) do have gills. Others like mosquito larvae do still come up to the surface to breath air and still others like water beetles carry a bubble of air with them underwater.

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.
