  It has been known that newly hatched nymphs of Phasmids behaves like ants, sometimes when they moves, they have their abdomen curled up making them look more like ants.
  But not sure about this one, as it is yellow colour.
  And their hairiness, probably relates to the plants/leafs they goes to, as the leaf it was on was also hairy in nature. Posted 9 years ago
