The perfect camouflage.... really

Posted by Sebastien (Geneva, Switzerland) on 23 February 2012 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Do you have good eyes? This is a good test, let's try to look on the leaf...
I've never seen a so perfect camouflage!!! Hard to spot even when you're watching for real. It's probably a kind of Phylliidae.
There are others animals trying to hide in the same area, thanks for the title!!!
