How does the walking stick insect help humans?
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.
The stick insect lives for approximately one year and then it dies unfortunately... But that's only the males the females live up to 18 months.

The males, however, have very long wings which cover the entire length of their body. They use these for flight - a rather ungainly flutter or a very graceful glide.
