Stick insects (order Phasmida) mating. The male is above the larger female. Stick insects can reproduce sexually,or asexually by parthenogenesis. If the female's eggs are not fertilised by a male before she lays them,all of the eggs will produce females. After sexual reproduction both males and females are produced.
