I have a seen a large stick insect with a smaller stick insect on its back. Is it a baby or mating?

Stick insects do not show any level of parental care (apart from the fact that some species selectively position their eggs). This will almost certainly be a mating pair, the male being the smaller individual that is on top.
The heaviest recorded specimen at a PSG meeting (belonging to Kristien Rabaey and Rob Simoens) weighed in at 49.2g (Smith, 2007), but culture stocks are likely to be significantly smaller than wild specimens are. eyeshadow palette
