Stick Insects

Yes, they are very elongated and brown.

yes

No, stick insects do not eat grasshoppers.

After several days of heavy rainstorm I found three insects that resembled Northern Stickbugs in my pool. They were moving/swimming below the surface. Does anyone know if stickbugs can swim? Did I miss identify these insects?

Birds, reptiles, bats, and spiders all eat stick bugs. The stick bug looks like a twig and can hide in trees without being seen by predators. They range in length from a half inch to 13 inches long.

the best name for a girl stick insect is Twiggy

It is not unusual for a stick insect to lose a leg in a moult. Some skin sheds, for various reasons, can go wrong and often the old skin can dry over several legs which can cause the stick insect to eject the tangled legs. To keep any incidents like this to a minimum, be sure to lightly spray inside the enclosure with water every day and make sure the enclosure is at least three times as tall as your stick insect - as many stick insects prefer to shed their skin while hanging vertically from a high leaf or branch.

A stick insect can survive quite happily with at least three legs until the other legs grow back in future moults.

winged ants look like other normal black ants but dey just have wings sooo their colour is black

Most pet species will eat bramble (blackberry leaves) or privet as their main source of food. Most stick insects can also eat rose and oak and some species eat eucalyptus.

Mastervenusflytrap: 85% of Australian species eat eucalyptus leaves.

It supports people who are doing outside activity to have proper balance especially when there are walking across high mounts, can also be used as a leverage device to shove into the ground ahead of you and pull on.

Depends on the species and what you mean by cold but as a general rule they cant survive long peroids of cold weather.

I keep many different types of stick insect and would not let the temp drop below 15c for long periods of time.

I try to keep them at 20c-25c.

The majority of walking stick-type insects do not migrate. The majority, instead, hibernate during colder seasons. They also have a short lifespan,

June bugs are not really considered lucky. They are considered pests by most because they like to eat shrubs and plants.

Walking sticks come in several lengths, depending on the persons height. The handle reaching to just a couple of inches below the waist is about right. If the stick is too short, the user will have to lean down, which is not good for the persons posture.

yes.

Phasmatodea

it depends on what tipe the moast commen is a varies

In order to camouflage them from predators, walking sticks tend to lay their eggs on the bottom of leaves or stems. They also lay them one by one so that they resemble tiny seeds instead of putting them in one large pile.

Actually, stick insects will mate at any time of year. Stick insects often live in warm and tropical places where there is no such thing as "winter" or "autumn". The weather is usually stable and stays the same all year round, so stick insects will mate at any time once they have reached adulthood and found a mate.

no they are diffrent species alltogether

Not really unless you put a net over the plant.

here's some info though you could use

Food: Leaves and if you check my link below it tells you what leaves to feed it

Home: On a plant will do great

Flying, long-legged, tiny insects are what gnats look like. The insects in question (Diptera order) may be compared to super-tiny dark specks. They possess wings even though they are known as weak fliers in the insect world.

Indian laboratory stick insects lay up to 200 eggs. They do not need any surface to lay them on they will just drop them. They take up to 3 months to hatch. It is very likely that some will have to be crushed because they will all hatch and there will be too many to be kept by 1 person. If you plan on selling them they will sell cheapest at 10p.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they eat small bugs?

The female stick insects can either glide or not fly at all and the females tail has a more oval shape to it.

The males can fly away so it is not advertised to take it outside, the males tail has a bump on its tail.

That is really three questions in one. It could mean which insect has the most venomous sting, which insect has the most dangerous venom but does not sting, or which insect causes the highest mortality rate.

Firstly the most venomous sting insect. In the USA alone 23 people a year die from bee and wasp stings. Usually an insect's sting is quite harmless for humans and only a slight skin reaction occurs, but a few people suffer very severe reactions. When stung, a few people can go into anaphylactic shock and experience difficulty breathing, difficulty in swallowing, a sharp fall in blood pressure, collapse, unconsciousness and even death.

The most dangerous insect in this category is the honey bee, and accounts for as many human deaths as all the species of snake cause put together. However, nearly all of the deaths caused by these insects are due to allergic reactions and not to the venom itself.

The insect that has the most potent venom belongs to the ants in the Pogonomyrmex genus. This tiny little insect can kill a 2kg mammal (such as a rat or a rabbit) with only twelve stings. These ants could kill a human with between 350 to 450 stings, without an allergic reaction taking place. To put this in perspective, to get the same reaction from a honey bee, it would take well over 10,000 stings.

Now for the most venomous insect that does can not sting. These are only dangerous in they are ingested or touched. There are a few caterpillars in this category and two groups of beetle, but the most venomous is the Blister Beetle. There are around 2000 species of blister beetle worldwide, and when they occur in large numbers they can cause a large problem for livestock. The Blister Beetle produces a toxin called Cantharidin, a chemical that cause blistering on the skin and if eaten also inside the intestine tissue. These beetles live in grass and hay, the natural food source for many animals and when they are eaten by these grazers, it can cause them serious harm. A cow or horse need only eat 10 or so beetles accidentally to become seriously ill, and this is likely to kill the animal.

However, the Blister Beetle might be the most toxic, but it is not the insect that causes the most deaths. This title belongs to the Mosquito, but how does it kill with out venom or poison? The Mosquito carries many potentially dangerous diseases and as the move from one person, or animal, to another, they infect the new host with these diseases. The Mosquito with the most infamous reputation is that of the Anopheles genus. In Africa alone this tiny insect kills one child under the age of five every thirty seconds. That totals around 3000 every day and nearly one and half million in a single year. The mosquito is also known for transmitting malaria and this claims the lives of around one to three million people every year. Even if a person survives the first stages of malaria, it is a disease that they will have to battle for the rest of their lives, and will most probably result in death years after the first infection. It is commonly agreed that malaria is one of the top killers in the world, and the main cause of infection results from the tiny mosquito.

So the insect with the most venomous sting is the Honey Bee, the insect with the most toxic venom is the Blister Beetle, although this is only dangerous if eaten, but the insect that causes the most deaths is the common Mosquito.

Just a small edit if talking about the most venomous insect that does not sting, instead of saying the blister beetle I would say the genus Lonomia would be the winner which are a group of moths located in South America, however it is not the fully grown adult moth that is being brought into question but the caterpillar instead. While the LD50 for them has not been tested it is predicted to have the lowest LD50 among all natural Toxins.
