Indian Stick Insects, like all stick insect species are herbivores. An Indian Stick Insect will not attack or eat another stick insect. The closest they get is eating old skins from a moulting to take in all the nutrients.

Why your stick insect has turned black?
Not all stick insect species have red front legs. The Indian Stick Insect is very well known for its bright red found on the inside of its front legs. It is not clear why it is coloured in such a way, but there are some possible reasons: Red could distract a predator from eating it, as many animals will refrain from eating a bug with red colouring as this often means they are poisonous or don't taste nice. Many harmless creatures, like stick insects, use this tactic as well. Another possible theory is that the red is for communicating to other stick insects of the same species.
Is the water stick insect herbivorous?
No, water stick insects are carnivorous. a good clue to this is their forelegs which are adapted for grasping [raptorial] an adaptation enabling them to catch hold of other small creatures. I am currently looking at a trio of water stick insects which a friend and I managed to catch. Although I have not seen them eat I have seen one holding, very tightly, a damselfly nymph which it had caught. Each of the specimens I have before me are roughly three inches long, including their tail breathing tubes. Water stick insects are also called water scorpions. They are not the same family as stick insects.
