(2023上·广东深圳·七年级统考期末)Stick insects(竹节虫)are also known as stick bugs, leaf insects, bug insects and walking sticks. There are about 3, 000 different kinds of stick insects. They live in forests and grasslands in all continents except(除了)Antarctica(南极洲).They spend much of their time in trees eating leaves. They can grow up to two-feet long, making them one of the longest insects in the world!
Stick insects are a tasty snack for birds and other animals. But these bugs have a tricky way to hide.They look like sticks! They also don’t move much. This makes them hard to spot(发现)in trees.
Some stick insects also have colourful wings that help keep them safe. They keep their wings closed until other animals come near. Then, the stick insects show their wings in a bright flash. This scares the animals away and gives the stick insects time to hide.
Stick insects have another smart trick. A stick insect can get away even if a bird catches it by the leg. The stick insect just lets its leg fall off! Luckily, stick insects can grow back any legs they lose.
When all else fails, a stick insect will play dead. In front of its enemy, it will suddenly drop(掉落)from the tree, fall to the ground, and stay very still. This usually works well. Its enemy may not find it on the ground or prefer living prey(猎物)and move on.
