It Might Look Like A Leaf But It’s Not…take a look

Imagine yourself walking in a forest . You see a beautiful coloured leaf . And when you try to touch that one , to bring a horror to your surprise and heart attack , you find that the leaf started moving , its not a leaf but a leaf insect and it is all around you....................

These little guys take on the still and nearly-perfect appearance of a leaf to hide from predators.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
 If you’re a world traveler, you can find these insects from South Asia through Southeast Asia to Australia.
 They are generally known to be part of the Family Phylliidae.
 Some species of leaf insect even look like they have bites taken out of their leaves.
Leaf insects are tiny, adorable masters of disguise.

I’m fooled, every single time I look at one.
