Stick insects, also known as praying mantises or jumping insects, belong to the order Orthoptera. They are also known as mantises or jumping insects. Stick insects get their name from their body shape, which resembles a branch or stick, allowing them to easily hide in plant growth and avoid predators. These insects have an unusual appearance and interesting behavior. They can change color in response to their environment, which helps them better camouflage themselves and avoid danger. Stick insects feed on plants, primarily leaves, flowers, and shoots. They exhibit intriguing behavior, have a high reproductive rate, and a wide variety of species.

Even the mention of tarantulas often evokes fear, thanks to their menacing appearance. But even a tarantula can make an exotic pet: it's entirely possible to keep one at home. It's important to know all the conditions and rules for caring for them, their housing, and their diet. Tarantulas are fairly large spiders from the wolf spider family, with a hairy body. In the wild, tarantulas inhabit deserts, steppes, and other dry areas. Like most other spiders, they are active at night—when they hunt—and during the day, tarantulas hide in vertical burrows up to 65 cm deep. They line the walls of their burrows with webbing, which they use to create cocoons for their eggs. Tarantulas, however, require only gentle care at home. Therefore, they are often kept by exotic pet lovers (especially rare and large species). But please note that it is better to choose a female animal, especially if this is your first experience.Read more
