After several days of heavy rainstorm I found three insects that resembled Northern Stickbugs in my pool. They were moving/swimming below the surface. Does anyone know if stickbugs can swim? Did I miss identify these insects?
Birds, reptiles, bats, and spiders all eat stick bugs. The stick bug looks like a twig and can hide in trees without being seen by predators. They range in length from a half inch to 13 inches long.
It is not unusual for a stick insect to lose a leg in a moult. Some skin sheds, for various reasons, can go wrong and often the old skin can dry over several legs which can cause the stick insect to eject the tangled legs. To keep any incidents like this to a minimum, be sure to lightly spray inside the enclosure with water every day and make sure the enclosure is at least three times as tall as your stick insect - as many stick insects prefer to shed their skin while hanging vertically from a high leaf or branch.
A stick insect can survive quite happily with at least three legs until the other legs grow back in future moults.
winged ants look like other normal black ants but dey just have wings sooo their colour is black
Most pet species will eat bramble (blackberry leaves) or privet as their main source of food. Most stick insects can also eat rose and oak and some species eat eucalyptus.
Mastervenusflytrap: 85% of Australian species eat eucalyptus leaves.
It supports people who are doing outside activity to have proper balance especially when there are walking across high mounts, can also be used as a leverage device to shove into the ground ahead of you and pull on.
Depends on the species and what you mean by cold but as a general rule they cant survive long peroids of cold weather.
I keep many different types of stick insect and would not let the temp drop below 15c for long periods of time.
I try to keep them at 20c-25c.
The majority of walking stick-type insects do not migrate. The majority, instead, hibernate during colder seasons. They also have a short lifespan,
June bugs are not really considered lucky. They are considered pests by most because they like to eat shrubs and plants.
Walking sticks come in several lengths, depending on the persons height. The handle reaching to just a couple of inches below the waist is about right. If the stick is too short, the user will have to lean down, which is not good for the persons posture.

it depends on what tipe the moast commen is a varies
In order to camouflage them from predators, walking sticks tend to lay their eggs on the bottom of leaves or stems. They also lay them one by one so that they resemble tiny seeds instead of putting them in one large pile.
Actually, stick insects will mate at any time of year. Stick insects often live in warm and tropical places where there is no such thing as "winter" or "autumn". The weather is usually stable and stays the same all year round, so stick insects will mate at any time once they have reached adulthood and found a mate.
no they are diffrent species alltogether
Not really unless you put a net over the plant.
here's some info though you could use
Food: Leaves and if you check my link below it tells you what leaves to feed it
Home: On a plant will do great
Flying, long-legged, tiny insects are what gnats look like. The insects in question (Diptera order) may be compared to super-tiny dark specks. They possess wings even though they are known as weak fliers in the insect world.
Indian laboratory stick insects lay up to 200 eggs. They do not need any surface to lay them on they will just drop them. They take up to 3 months to hatch. It is very likely that some will have to be crushed because they will all hatch and there will be too many to be kept by 1 person. If you plan on selling them they will sell cheapest at 10p.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they eat small bugs?
The female stick insects can either glide or not fly at all and the females tail has a more oval shape to it.
The males can fly away so it is not advertised to take it outside, the males tail has a bump on its tail.
