About the Stick Insect

Stick insects are masters of disguise, shaped and colored to look just like twigs or stems. Staying still among the branches, they are so convincing that their scientific name comes from a Greek word for phantom. Some kinds are the longest insects in the world, stretching over a foot from end to end. Add this stick insect to a camouflage lesson and see who can find the shape hidden in the leaves.

  • Stick insects hide by mimicking twigs and plant stems.
  • Some species are the longest insects in the world.
  • A few defend themselves with spines or foul-smelling sprays.
