Leaf Insect: Protective Camouflage
Can you find the insect? Insects that blend in with their surroundings can escape
danger from predators such as birds. This tropical insect looks just like the
leaf it sits on. But, remember: If you look like a leaf or a stick, you must
also act like one! Too much movement would give you away. In nature, structure
and behavior are inextricably bound.
