Camouflage


A remarkable adaptation - look at that ragged wing and the "woody" legs.  I presume it's a sort of leafhopper *(?), but I can't find an original credit via the source, or any other use via TinEye reverse image search.  A Google translation of the source text seems to indicate that it was photographed in Peru.

(See also this leaf insect).

* it's a "leaf katydid" (typophyllum) - and from the pix at the second link, perhaps they can change colors (?with the seasons?).  Hat tip to Lady Aritê gunê Akasa for the i.d.
