Stick Insect "Dancing"

[4lifeillwill]

It's called a Phasmatodea!

[kingdomheartsfan108]

Are stick insects poisonous? Because they DO NOT look friendly ヽ(´o｀；

[NishcheyNayar]

@kingdomheartsfan108 Most (like this one) are harmless, some have the ability to produce some nasty chemicals for self defence...but yeah generally harmless to humans..and they are friendly...you just have to have the courage to handle them (which I didn't have)...so I handled it with sticks/leaves..I have seen many kids handle them..smaller ones though

[kingdomheartsfan108]

@NishcheyNayar thaks for that ! i never knew that!!!!!!!!1 ur awesome

p.s i wouldnt handle it my self... very creepy

[mrliampep5i]

[redshirtyear]

Imagine a bird decides to perch on him. The bird lands and it breaks away from the tree..."Oh shi.....!"

[failspellinglol]

hes not really dancing hes mimicing the wind in the tree so he can move with out being seen.v hes probly scared and thinks if he does that the person video taping this couldnt se him trying to get away to a safe spot.

[NishcheyNayar]

@failspellinglol yes thats correct ...as I previously mentioned it is not actually "dancing"

[YaFeelsMe]

[xlheartlx]

My whole life I only saw one...it stayed in the van after a camping trip but it kinda freaked me out at the time so I just put it in the grass next to a tree and left it.

[RICHARDTOMLEY10WHARF]

lovely

[razielrocks]

never ever seen those before.

[axolotlwithexotics]

what do you feed him?? i find them everywhere around my house and avoid keeping them because i dont know their specific needs.please reply.

[NishcheyNayar]

@axolotlwithexotics

..in australia we have eucalyptus leaves ..and most insect species feed on them..i am unsure about the types of trees you guys have ..but the trees around where you find insects are often a good indication of what they feed on ...just keep an insect in a large container with holes ( i made one for it out off a polystyrene box i had)..put in a few twigs and wet leaves from different plants...try this for a day and observe which type of leaves the insect eats...and use them

[ScrubsTheNewcomers]

@NishcheyNayar Wow, living in Australia must be so cool :) You have so many interesting, awesome animals!

[StrikingRhinoceros]

@axolotlwithexotics They eat bramble and ivy.

[GraceRomainePidgley]

@axolotlwithexotics Im from and in Engalnd, any type of leaf, Try apple tree leaves. If they dont eat some within 1-2 days, leave it in there becuase they will use it as their dry shelter

[kittenofdoom05]

@axolotlwithexotics You shouldn't worry about keeping them around, they find small insects around your house to eat, including spiders.:) They are good to have.

[jherr94]

@axolotlwithexotics most prefer the taste of blackberry bush leaves

[SAGEthewisedragon]

he's doing that to mimmic the breeze from a forest as if he was in a tree right?

[NishcheyNayar]

@SAGEthewisedragon

yeah thats exactly right..just clever way to blend in with swaying twigs etc.

[beaglelala]

@NishcheyNayar Mine do that to! i blow on them to make them do that. Funn! >:)

[RSKorosiya]

@NishcheyNayar Song name ^^ BTW I also had 4 of these as pets but too bad 2 of them died, but i'm trying to do asmuch as possible to let the others live. :(

[NishcheyNayar]

@RSKorosiya ...song is called Bass 305..its some really old music they used to test speakers with lol...I would have picked another song but meh :P

[adrian5b]
