As they get older they'll turn brown resembling sticks which helps hide them from predators. If startled they will lay still and play dead because most predators want live prey. #athomewithsicm #sichildrensmuseum #cultureneverclosed #childrensmuseumsathome #bugsofinstagram #stickbugs #

This concept will then be expanded to explain how despite how people might look different on the outside, we are all the same on the inside. #athomewithsicm #himama #sichildrensmuseum
