This does not need to be a Sticky - there is nothing wrong with Pink Winged stick insects, they are completely harmless. The "rumour" that Pink Winged stick insects are poisonous was an incorrect statement on the Amateur Entomological Society website, which has since been removed.

The American species (the Florida stick insect, A.buprestoides) is indeed harmful but no reputable seller in the UK would breed or sell this species. It is very unlikely that you that you would find it for sale in the UK. If you did Rob158, then you should not have sold it on!

Do not let this dangerous species put you off keeping stick insects - most are perfectly harmless. Some types have defensive sprays (that smell) but they are not TOXIC.
