Which organism has order Phasmida?

Which organism has order Phasmida?

• A. Walking Stick
• B. Treehopper
• C. Velvet Ant
• D. Tobacco Hornworm

Answer: (A)

Phasmida are the walking sticks and closely related stick-like insects known for their slender, elongated bodies that blend with twigs and leaves to hide from predators. This camouflage is the defining trait of the group, and they’re typically herbivores that move slowly to stay inconspicuous. In this set, the Walking Stick is the organism that belongs to Phasmida, embodying that stick-like appearance. The other organisms belong to different orders—treehoppers are Hemiptera, velvet ants are Hymenoptera, and tobacco hornworms are Lepidoptera—so they don’t belong to Phasmida.
