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.
