Most captive Indian stick insects can and do reproduce in the absence of a male (parthenogenetic reproduction). The insect (female) will lay hundreds of tiny (0.08 inch or 2 mm) eggs over her life. These are smooth and round and must be separated form the feces at the bottom of the cage.
Populations of stick insects which still live in the wild in India where the males are much more common breed in a conventional fashion. Here the mail fertilities the eggs and they and while the females can reproduce parthenogeneticaly, there are probably good genetic reasons for this since without normal sexual reproduction the species would be expected to lose genetic diversity over time and therefore be unable to adapt and evolve.
Stick insects don't "have babies" like mammals do; they lay many hundreds of eggs over a period of time. Some species need both a male and female to produce fertalise eggs from the act of mating, while other species do not require a male at all.
They find an overhang and drop the eggs.
yes
In every 1000 stick insects, only 1 is male. Also females can reproduce by themselves
there cells reproduce like every other living thing!
They don't need anything! They lay their own eggs!
No. Most insects reproduce on land.
water stick insects simply lay their eggs on floating plants and wait until they hatch.
Mostly sexually, but some insects can reproduce asexually, such as the aphid
Yes, stick insects are insects.
Yes, stick insects are insects.
Yes. Stick insects obviously are insects, and all insects are arthropods! ^^
because they are camoflage and it is hard to see the stick insects. because they are camoflage and it is hard to see the stick insects.
The "pretty" is to attract insects like the bee to come towards it to collect nectar. This is because the flower's pollen will stick to the bee and will help reproduce.
Yes, stick insects are vegetarian, eating leaves.Yes.
