Meet our class pets: stick insects! We have five stick insects in the classroom, and we’ve been learning all about their life cycle, diet, habitat, and behaviour. These amazing insects are masters of disguise. They can stand perfectly still for hours, pretending to be sticks! They camouflage so well with their surroundings that sometimes it’s really hard to spot them. Our stick insects are still growing, and they will molt 4–5 times before reaching adulthood. We’ve already seen them molt once, and it was absolutely fascinating!
