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.
Water. Stick. Insect
yes bubbles help bring air to the fish and keep the water moving
because the bubbles block there throats
Elepants can't breath under water. They can swim though and they can breath if they stick their trunk above the water.
Tadpoles, insects and small fish
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.
Yes, all stick insects are vegetarian. Leaves are their main diet. (The water stick insect, or water scorpion, is a different family. It is a carnivore.)
Water stick insects favor being on the surface of the water because this is where their food accumulates. Also, if they were under the water, they would not survive.
The insect uses the waters surface tension to walk where others can’t. His only problem comes from below.
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.

No? When you open water, the water molecules have contact with the air molecules. BUT! does the water turn into bubbles? I don't think so.
