Phasmatodea, or walking sticks, are not harmful to humans. They do not bite or sting, and for some, make interesting pets. Many species do secrete chemicals for defense and one tribe in Papua New Guinea often uses the secretions for skin infections. Generally though, walking sticks are neither harmful nor helpful, but have been known to cause deforestation in some areas with high populations. Their feces do provide limited fertilization.

How do you draw a stick insect?
First, picture the walking stick insect in your mind. Here is a picture of a walking stick to help form a mental image. Notice how part of the body looks flatter horizontally, while one end slopes upward. Note its legs, how they almost make part of a square, like sideways L's. Look at the area we think of as "toes"---see how there is a curve before the leg goes to the foot on each leg.You don't have to draw it as if it is standing on a flat surface. You could draw it as if climbing up a tree... or standing on a seesaw. Play with the lines. Shade in parts to make the body look thicker than the legs.
I own a 8 Giant Thorny Stick Insects but one of them seems very badly hurt It can barely move and it's tail seems to be almost deflated at the end Is there anything I can do to help?
It seems as if your stick insect might have caught themselves on something that might be putting your Stick insect into alot of pain. Or they simply might have some kind of natural infection caught from food or another insect. The best thing you can do is to take your Stick Insect to a Vet that allows Stick Insects. If you cannot find a Vet nearby that allows Stick Insects that it might be best to go to the Shop that you bought your insects from, as they probably know alot about Stick Insects because they have to maintain them. Hope your Insects turn out ok :)

Why may introducing a chemical to kill an insect population have an impact on humans?
Introducing a chemical to kill an insect population can have an impact on humans in many different ways. It could pollute our air, and also kill another insect that we were not intending on killing. But mainly because it can hurt the plants and animals that help us in our every day lives. For example; it could kill a tree leading us with less oxygen sources and wood to use for materials. Or certain plants used for medicines. Or the decomposers that help decompose and keep our earth a cleaner place. These are simply some of the impacts on humans of introducing a chemical to kill an insect population.
