Leaf-mimic katydid

There are many insects in the family Tettigoniidae (bush crickets or katydids) which are mimics of leaves.

This type of camouflage occurs in several subfamilies, among others including:

  • Pterochrozinae
  • Phaneropterinae
  • Pseudophyllinae

Other unrelated insects adopting a similar camouflage strategy include the leaf insects.
