When you walk through a garden or a park, be smart! Hidden well between trunks and sticks there could be an insect. Not to be afraid. The objective of this animal, which has the shape and color of a branch, is to go unnoticed in the environment in which it lives: it is the stick insect. Other members of the insect family are usually found on tree trunks, where their color can be confused with that of the vegetable bark. If it weren't for the sound that sounds like a “sississi” emitted by these animals, which sounds very high and high, usually in the early morning or late afternoon, you wouldn't even find out where they are. Who knows? _________ the cicada!
