Detailed explanation-1: -Stick insects have a pair of compound eyes, antennae, and a mouth with small jaws (hidden in this view by the left foreleg). Compound eyes help them to see predators approaching from all directions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Walkingsticks are terrestrial-if you see a similar critter in the water, it’s an (unrelated) water scorpion. Shy and nocturnal, they are most active between 9 PM and 3 AM, and, says one study, they have “screening pigments” in their eyes that act to block excessive light of daytime.
Detailed explanation-3: -They are weak clumsy fliers, usually flying for short bursts. They are experts at camouflage. They may behave in a particular way and use colourations, patterning or special body forms to blend in with their surroundings. They are also capable of remaining motionless for long periods of time.
