Due to their rarity, no one has observed their diet in the wild. However, in captivity they are fed the vegetation of Melaleuca, Banyan and Fig Trees which are all native to Lord Howe Island.
sleep & eat.
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.

Praying mantids are masters of camouflage like stick insects, so you may have mistaken it for a stick insect. Mantids are carnivorous and will eat other insects.
Spiders will eat any creatures that are captured in their webs - including stick insects.
Yes. They eat ivy leaves or blackberry leaves.
Depends on the species of stick insect. You will most likely find them on trees where they eat the leaves.
no because they are both bugs that live close to each other
Yes, all stick insects are vegetarian. Leaves are their main diet. (The water stick insect, or water scorpion, is a different family. It is a carnivore.)
No. All stick insect species are strictly herbivores, as their mouths are specially designed to cut into the sides of leaves to eat.
you feed Indian stick insects privet ivy grass ectADD:I don't think stick insects can eat grass as the leaves are too narrow. Indian Stick Insects can eat privet, bramble, ivy, oak, rose and a few other plants.
They live on branches or leaves or somewhere else on trees, or they also live in the grass.
