Moving Leaf Insect (Phyllium celebicum)

Some insects have adopted a method of camouflage in which they closely resemble the plants on which they live. Insectivores such as shrews, chameleons, and aardwolfs (aardwolves?) do not see these large bugs, so they are safe.

What I really like about those guys is the little touches of brown, as if the leaf were damaged or starting to wilt.
