Insect 2

I was walking through the woods in Hawaii the other day and lened up against a tree to rest and all of a sudden I felt this "thing" crawling up my neck. I started to freak out and the saw this insect. I took it back to my lab and reserched it. They call this the Walking stick. As I began to research it I found out all this information. They say that this insect is not suppose to be in Hawaii. they are usually on land at all times. These insects are about 4-7 inches long. Nearly 3,000 species of this insect exist. They are fairly rare to see just because they are camouflaged and tend to be most active at night. Even the eggs of the Walkingstick mimic tiny brown seeds to keep them safe from other predators. Some have cylindrical stick-like bodies, while others have a flattened, leaflike shape. Stick-Insect eggs come in 2 main forms depending on whether they are dropped on the ground or placed in some less accessible spot. Those that are just dropped to the ground have a relatively large 'capitulum' this generally contains lipids and other substances attractive to ants, the ants take the eggs back to their nests, cut off the capitulum and feed it to their brood, the rest of the egg is then thrown into a garbage dump. The Stick-Insect eggs gain protection from birds and many other predators by being in the ant nest, and hatch quite happily inside the nest or buried in the garbage. The eggs take anywhere from 3 months to over 18 months to hatch into miniature versions of the adult, accept that they have no wings. The young of this insect is called Nymphs until they reach their second-to-last stage before adulthood which then the stick insect is referred as an adult.Stick insects seem marvelously adapted to eating bramble (blackberry bushes).  Other food sources which can be tried are ivy, privet, oak, rose, hawthorn, pyracantha, strawberry leaves or beetroot leaves. Things that eat this insect can be woodworms or bevers.
