Learn why stick insects look like twigs to hide from animals. A simple and fun explanation for young children about camouflage.
Hey there! Did you know that some bugs have special tricks to stay safe? A stick insect is one of them. It looks just like a little stick or twig on a tree. Can you imagine a bug wearing a costume that helps it hide?
This trick is called camouflage. When a stick insect looks like a twig, other animals like birds don't see it easily. So, it stays safe and can live happily without getting caught.
Isn’t that cool? Nature helps the stick insect by giving it colors and shapes that look just like twigs!
