@skstein Stick insects are so named for their effective camouflage among the woody plants where they feed. They imitate twigs swaying in the wind by rocking back and forth as they move. Most stick insects cannot harm you, they don’t have thorns or poison. But some species do have spikes on their legs designed for pinching predators. Their natural camouflage can make them extremely difficult to spot. Once my Grandson picked one up & it was prickly to touch & seemed to attach itself to him, not as big as mine though!
