Leaf insects use camouflage to take on the
appearance of a leaf. They do this so
accurately that predators often aren’t able
to distinguish them from real leaves. In
some species the edge of the leaf insect’s
body even has the appearance of bite
marks. To further confuse predators, when
the leaf insect walks, it rocks back and
forth, to mimic a real leaf being blown by
the wind.
