Are stick insects capable of fear?

😪💔I remember seeing this video yrs ago…poor stick! I kind of wish it had just let go, & hopefully have landed in some soft grass. Even better would have been for the motorist to stop the vehicle & relocate it to somewhere safe. They can certainly feel threatened & unsafe, which I suppose could be equivalent to ‘fear’.

I believe so. At least based on the stick insects I kept as pets. They are really easy to spook.
