A stick bug (AKA stick insects, walking sticks and technically Phasmatodea) eats Dog food.
I had the same question as I recently allowed a stick bug into my house.
I've seen these guys probably a dozen times in my yard and this particular one seemed to call my name.
I put him on one of my house plants and went looking for what they eat. Imagine my dilema when I realized they eat leaves and I put it on one of my plants.
I do not keep the bug in a container... and it seems to be just fine staying where it is (for the time being anyway).
So back to the answer. Here are the types of leaves it seems they will eat and I will give a link to a page I found to be useful when bringing this bug into my home.
Types of leaves it eats:
blackberry bramble, ivy, privet, oak, rose, hawthorn, pyracantha, strawberry leaves or beetroot leaves

The #14 in the link above should bring you right to the food section of the page, although I do recommend reading the entire page.

∙ 11y agoStick bugs eat around the edges of a leaf, around 1 square cm per 2 minutes or so. I have only paid attention when I saw my indian stick bugs eat ficus leaves though. They can eat ficus, eucalyptus, bramble, evergreen oak, lettuce, raspberry and tons more different kinds of leaves. I'm pretty sure they also eat leaves from rose bushes too, but you migt need to research that one.

In what season should you release ladybugs in the garden for pest control?
Don't release lady bugs until you see pest insects such as aphids in the garden for them to eat. If there isn't any food in the garden for the lady bugs they won't stick around. If you release lady bugs and they eat up all the prey insects, you can encourage them to stick around by putting "wheast" on sticks in the garden. You can probably buy "wheast" wherever you get your lady bugs, or you can make it by mixing wheat flour, yeast and honey into a paste. Slather that on a popsicle stick and stick it in the soil for the lady bugs to eat.
