They are possibly the only animal/insect on the planet that gives me the creeps. They make me feel sick just looking at them  |

I love Mantis but I loathe stick insects... they gross me out and give me the creaps... maybe cause their abdomen is so squishy  I don't know but they make me |

yeah I agree with you Amanda something about stick insects freak me out. It is weird enough when Manty crawls up your arm, but I dont think I could handle a stick insect  |
