Do stick insects bite humans?
Nearly all stick insect species are harmless and are not toxic.
None cat actually deliver a bite as all stick insects have evolved
to nibble the edges of leaves, and none have stingers. However, the
Two-Striped Walking Stick (Anisomorpha buprestoides) is said to
have a defensive spray that can cause temporary blindness if caught
in the eyes. Other stick insect species can also spray but have no
harmful effects.
