How to Care for Your Pink Wing Stick Insect The pink wing stick insect (Sipyloidea sipylus) is a medium-sized, nocturnal, herbivorous invertebrate originally native to Madagascar.  Pink wing stick insects grow 3-4” long, and are almost entirely female in captivity due to parthenogenic reproduction.
