I do! Only if it's contained.
There are two main species of stick insect that are described as "Spiny", and they come from different areas of the world:Extatosoma tiaratum (often called the Giant Prickly or Macleay's Spectre) is a large species of stick insect found in Australia.Eurycantha calcarata (often called the Giant Spiny, Papua New Guinea or Spiny Devil) is another large stick insect which lives in the place of their common name, Papa New Guinea
The bug that has spikes on its back is called a spiny leaf insect.
The spiny anteater is more properly known as the echidna.Echidnas use their strong forelegs and claws to dig out termite burrows. Whilst they like ants, termites are their favoured food. Once they have dug out a nest, they use their long tongue to collect termites and ants.
The spiny anteater, more properly known as the echidna, is insectivorous. Its preferred food is termites, but it also eats ants, and sometimes other insect larvae.
No. The only insect that can do that is the Spiny leaf insect. (I'm pretty sure but other stick insects might be able to do so too.)
The easiest way to make a humane insect trap is to take a 2 liter bottle and cut it in half. Then you can insert the smaller spout into the bottom.
A spiny leaf insect changes color primarily as a form of camouflage, allowing it to blend in with its surroundings and evade predators. This ability to change color helps it mimic the appearance of leaves or twigs, enhancing its survival in natural habitats. Additionally, color changes can be influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, and the insect's mood or stress levels.
The spiny anteater, more properly known as the echidna, is insectivorous, as it eats termites and ants, and sometimes other insect larvae. Apart from these, it does not feed on any other animals.
