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.
