Description

Leaf insects are incredible at mimicking leaves, and do it so accurately that predators are often unable 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.

Leaf mimics are one of our favorite insects, and are very popular in the store.  Our leaf mimics are mounted on a brass rod and presented in a 4 X 7 inch glass dome.
