Leaf insects live in mostly tropical climates. Their wings resemble the leaves of plants around them, allowing them to blend right in when they perch on a leaf. The Kallima Butterfly resembles a dead leaf when it settles onto a branch in its native East Indies. They are all practicing the art of camouflage as it was meant to be. Other butterflies have taken this one step further.
Different insects resemble twigs and branches.
The same is true of a queen ant. Male ants have a life span of one year, while a female who has reached the status of queen can live for over ten years, many times much longer even than that. They are everywhere around us. Getting to know a bit about these fascinating creatures is sure to do one thing, if nothing else. Have some fun and explore the huge world of insects.
