Many insects have adapted amazingly well to camouflage themselves by mimicking various shapes, patterns, and colors in nature. Here are several fascinating photos and videos of insects that resemble leaves.

The images and videos below show various species of leaf- and stick-mimicking praying mantises, including a dead leaf mantis (Deroplatys desiccata) and a violin mantis subadult (Gongylus gongylodes). The detail and similarity to vegetation in some species, like the specimen in the first image, is extraordinary.
