Stick insects pinch primarily as a defense mechanism against predators. When threatened, they may use their strong jaws to grasp or pinch an attacker, which can deter further aggression. Additionally, this behavior can be a form of communication among other stick insects, signaling dominance or establishing territory. Overall, pinching serves as a way to protect themselves and assert their presence in their environment.

Nearly all stick insect species are harmless and are not toxic. None cat actually deliver a bite as all stick insects have evolved to nibble the edges of leaves, and none have stingers. However, the Two-Striped Walking Stick (Anisomorpha buprestoides) is said to have a defensive spray that can cause temporary blindness if caught in the eyes. Other stick insect species can also spray but have no harmful effects.
