Walking sticks, or stick insects, are known for their camouflage and mimicry, resembling twigs or branches. The loss of wings in some species is believed to be an evolutionary adaptation to their environment, occurring over millions of years. While many stick insects still have wings, those that have lost them typically do so to enhance their ability to blend into their surroundings and avoid predation. The specific timeline of when wings were lost varies among different species, but it is a trend observed in some lineages.
