Indian stick insect (Carausius morosus), also known as common stick insect, or laboratory stick insect is a species of Phasmatodea (phasmid) in the family Lonchodidae. This species is nocturnal. When disturbed, the major defense method is feigning death, the body becoming rigid, and the legs held along the line of the body. They may also be found swaying to mimic the movement of foliage in wind. The insects feed at night, when they are active. During the day, they rest, often with legs in line with the body, on their food plants.
