The stick caterpillar is well named It is hardly distinguishable from a brown or green twig This
caterpillar is quite common and can be found almost anywhere in North America It is also called
"measuring worm" or "inchworm." It walks by arching its body, than stretching out and grasping the
branch with its front feet then looping its body again to bring the hind feet forward When danger
threatens, the stick caterpillar stretches its body away from the branch at an angle and remains rigid and
still, like a twig, until the danger has passed
Walking sticks, or stick insects, do not have to assume a rigid, twig-like pose to find protection;
they look like inedible twigs in any position There are many kinds of walking sticks, ranging in size
form the few inches of the North American variety to some tropical species that may be over a foot long
When at rest their front legs are stretched out heightening their camouflage Some of the tropical species are adorned with spines or ridges imitating the thorny bushes or trees in which they live
