This is a pair of Phasmids from the Aschiphasmatidae family. The Male is the smaller one and has full wings, able to fly. He has interesting appendages just above his wings as seen in Pic #4. The Female is the bigger one, doesn't has wings but has interesting abdomen with protruding appendages on top of it that gives her the jurassic look.

Like most Stick Insects, during day time, they behaves and camouflage well among the branches that makes them looks like the sticks.
