Phasmatodea, or walking sticks, are not harmful to humans. They do not bite or sting, and for some, make interesting pets. Many species do secrete chemicals for defense and one tribe in Papua New Guinea often uses the secretions for skin infections. Generally though, walking sticks are neither harmful nor helpful, but have been known to cause deforestation in some areas with high populations. Their feces do provide limited fertilization.

How do you draw a stick insect?

First, picture the walking stick insect in your mind. Here is a picture of a walking stick to help form a mental image. Notice how part of the body looks flatter horizontally, while one end slopes upward. Note its legs, how they almost make part of a square, like sideways L's. Look at the area we think of as "toes"---see how there is a curve before the leg goes to the foot on each leg.You don't have to draw it as if it is standing on a flat surface. You could draw it as if climbing up a tree... or standing on a seesaw. Play with the lines. Shade in parts to make the body look thicker than the legs.


What is at the end of an insect's legs?

I own a 8 Giant Thorny Stick Insects but one of them seems very badly hurt It can barely move and it's tail seems to be almost deflated at the end Is there anything I can do to help?

It seems as if your stick insect might have caught themselves on something that might be putting your Stick insect into alot of pain. Or they simply might have some kind of natural infection caught from food or another insect. The best thing you can do is to take your Stick Insect to a Vet that allows Stick Insects. If you cannot find a Vet nearby that allows Stick Insects that it might be best to go to the Shop that you bought your insects from, as they probably know alot about Stick Insects because they have to maintain them. Hope your Insects turn out ok :)

Why is a walking stick multicellular?

Oh, dude, a walking stick is multicellular because it's made up of more than one cell. Like, imagine if it was just one big cell trying to walk around, that would be a sight to see! So yeah, multicellular just means it's got a bunch of cells working together to help it do its stick walking thing.
