Indian stick insects do NOT have wings. They are wingless stick insects, just like exstatosoma and giant thornies. Pink wings, have wings, and are absolutely beautiful.
EDIT:
Actually, Extatosoma Tiaratum (Giant Prickly, Macleay's Spectre) do indeed have wings. Adult females have tiny, almost shrivelled-like wings which are completely useless for flight. The males, however, have very long wings which cover the entire length of their body. They use these for flight - a rather ungainly flutter or a very graceful glide.
as nymphs (babies) they are little black dots. as they get older they get slightly larger. the eggs are round and brown with a little yellow dot on top
See one in the link below.
A stick insect doesnt necessarily look like a stick, depending what breed it is. For example a indian stick insect does look like a stick and camaflages itself into leaves and plants e.t.c whereas african stick insects are much more spiky and grow very large
A stick insect is camouflaged by colour and shape to look like a twig when stationary on the branches of a bush.
By blending in with its surroundings. With camouflage to make itself look like a stick.
A stick-bug they look like a twig from a tree
Yes it does because the stick insect looks like a branch in a tree or on the ground.If an animal spots it,it uses that camoflage to make it look like a branch and that animal walks away and forgets all about it.
Look on leaves and bushes
mantid flies
the eggs laid by common Indian stick insects are small oval shapes coloured brown about 2 mm small. they should be kept dry and handled carefully if removing from the main tank
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.
Stick insect eggs look like small seeds, and are generally dark brown in color. They are rounded and are fairly easy to separate from droppings because they look nothing alike.
i think maybe you mean a gnat. Possible a stick insect Stick Insect (Phasmida), but I'm not sure they fly. http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/bugs/stick-insect.html Donna
