I’m pretty sure it’s a giant walking stick (megaphasma denticrus)

You need a terrarium. It should be more tall than wide. You need dirt for the flooring, fresh browse (small tree branches). They eat leaves, but keep the leaves on the branches. And they are very gentle

Idk about the stick looking insect one but I'm pretty sure the blue one is an alien called Stitch
