The Australian walking stick is a master of deception, but a twig is just one of its many disguises. Before its even born, it mimics a seed. In its youth it looks and acts like an ant. Only when it has grown up does it settle into its final, leafy form. Along the way, it fools predators at every turn. Take the 2023 PBS Survey

But like how do they know that other animals don't like to eat ants so that's why they should become one. Like I understand evolution, trial and error on a large scale, but like. how? Did they try other insects to mimic first and when that didn't work the ones that look like the ant survived and passed on it's genes? And how did the eggs come to look like the seed it needed to be. My mind is so blown.

I love these guys. We have a few different kinds of stick bugs. The best thing is you can pick them up, they are very friendly, so much so they will crawl right into your hand and they don't bite.

Evolution is a crock of nonsense. The complex features of this insect did not occur through some kind of mathematical improbability of multiple mutations.

I have a stick insect and while they can be a little unnerving sometimes I've grown to love them. They are like little aliens from outer space

I know I'm a little late here, but who else thinks the Aussie walking stick's eggs look like hand grenades? Seriously, just look at those eggs

I don't understand even with evolution, how insects are able to change to look like birds, spiders, snakes, and just so much more. Terrifying

I'm curious of how the nymph pull itself out of the ant nest, I mean it's very dangerous there right, and it's a long way til the exit?

Did you know females still lay eggs even without mating though all babies will be females, they can copy themselves just like that.

The spiny leaf insect also has spaghetti hidden in it abdomen so that predators can has a some spaghetti with a side of lime pulp

imagine if the first thing you have to do right away after being born is run to escape from the lair of your enemies.
