This insect is known as a walking stick. Its actually not a bug. Very few insects fall into that genus.

The ordinal name is derived from the Ancient Greek phasma, meaning an apparition or phantom, and refers to the resemblance of many species to sticks or leaves. Their natural camouflage can make them extremely difficult to spot.

Phasmids can be relatively large, elongated insects. Some have cylindrical stick-like bodies, while others have a flattened, leaflike, shape. The body is often further modified to resemble vegetation, with ridges resembling leaf veins, bark-like tubercles, and other forms of camouflage.

A bug that looks exactly like a stick is called a stick insect or a walking stick. These insects have excellent camouflage that helps them blend in with their surroundings, making them look like actual sticks or twigs.
