Insects protect themselves from prey by having ways to defend themselves, hence a stick bug has a secreting substance that can be shot into the eyes of its predator causing blindness. It also uses camouflage to hide from predators.

ADD:

Some species also have wings that allow short bursts of flight. There are also some species that have very small wings that are useless for flight but is thought that they "flash" these wings to deter predators.
