Stick insects, like many other arthropods, can regenerate lost limbs through a process called autotomy, where they intentionally shed a limb to escape predators. After shedding, a new limb begins to grow during subsequent molts, although the regenerated limb may be smaller and less functional than the original. This ability allows stick insects to survive in their environment despite predation and enhances their chances of reproduction. However, regeneration can be energy-intensive, and the insect may experience vulnerabilities during the regeneration period.
