Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question from question 39 to 45:
Insects' lives are very short and they have many enemies, but they must survive long enough to
breed and perpetuate their kind. The less insect-like they look, the better their chance of survival. To
look "inedible" by resembling or imitating plants is a deception widely practiced by insects. Mammals
rarely use this type of camouflage, but many fish and invertebrates do.
The stick caterpillar is well named. It is hardly distinguishable from a brown or green twig.
This caterpillar is quite common and can be found almost anywhere in North America. It is also called
"measuring worm" or "inchworm." It walks by arching its body, than stretching out and grasping the
branch with its front feet then looping its body again to bring the hind feet forward. When danger


threatens, the stick caterpillar stretches its body away from the branch at an angle and remains rigid and
still, like a twig, until the danger has passed.
Walking sticks, or stick insects, do not have to assume a rigid, twig-like pose to find protection;
they look like inedible twigs in any position. There are many kinds of walking sticks, ranging in size
form the few inches of the North American variety to some tropical species that may be over a foot long.
When at rest their front legs are stretched out. heightening their camouflage. Some of the tropical species
are adorned with spines or ridges. imitating the thorny bushes or trees in which they live.
Leaves also seem to be a favorite object for insects to imitate. Many butterflies can suddenly
disappear from view by folding their wings and sitting quietly among the foliage that they resemble.
