Stick insects pinch primarily as a defense mechanism against predators. When threatened, they may use their strong jaws to grasp or pinch an attacker, which can deter further aggression. Additionally, this behavior can be a form of communication among other stick insects, signaling dominance or establishing territory. Overall, pinching serves as a way to protect themselves and assert their presence in their environment.
Yes, stick insects can see, but their vision is not as advanced as that of some other insects. They possess compound eyes, which allow them to detect movement and perceive their surroundings. However, their eyesight is generally limited to seeing shapes and shadows rather than fine detail, helping them to avoid predators by blending into their environment.
