No. All stick insect species are strictly herbivores, as their mouths are specially designed to cut into the sides of leaves to eat.

Is a tortoise a herbivore carnivore or a omnivore?

Actually,it depends on its species. Feeding meat to a vegetarian tortoise is as unnatural and unhealthy, as feeding steak and chicken to a cow. At the same time, feeding fruits and alfalfa to a carnivorous aquatic turtle is like trying to raise a cat on salad and vegetables.Tortoises--Tortoises are almost always exclusively herbivores. Their diets usually consist of 100% plant origin.Aquatic Turtles--Most aquatic turtles are primarily carnivores, and depending on the species and age, require a diet that contains from 65% to 90% meat. The remaining 10% to 35% is vegetable-based.Semi Aquatic Turtles--Most semi aquatic turtles are omnivores, and their nutritional requirements are usually met with a diet that is 50% meat and 50% vegetable-based. Depending on the species, age, and their habitat, these percentages will be altered slightly.Herbivore, they stick to the vegetation. I have never heard of a tortoise eating another animal.


What is a bug that looks exactly like a stick called?

This insect is known as a walking stick. Its actually not a bug. Very few insects fall into that genus.The ordinal name is derived from the Ancient Greek phasma, meaning an apparition or phantom, and refers to the resemblance of many species to sticks or leaves. Their natural camouflage can make them extremely difficult to spot.Phasmids can be relatively large, elongated insects. Some have cylindrical stick-like bodies, while others have a flattened, leaflike, shape. The body is often further modified to resemble vegetation, with ridges resembling leaf veins, bark-like tubercles, and other forms of camouflage.


Is a water stick omnivores carnivores or herbivores?

A water stick, also known as a water scorpion (family Nepidae), is primarily a carnivore. It preys on small aquatic insects and other invertebrates, using its elongated body and specialized front legs to capture prey. While they may occasionally ingest plant material, their diet predominantly consists of other animals.


How to find water with a stick?

The art of finding water with a stick is called dowsing. You can take the forked branch of a fruit tree and the two branches with your palms facing outward. Begin walking forward. When you are over water the branch will point downward.It works using the cells of the plant that are responsible for water transport in the plant.


What happens to timber when heated?

Slowly heated timber would simply dry and become classed as seasoned. If steam is used, the timber would become pliable, and could be bent - resulting in the curved handle on a walking-stick, for instance.
