Other insects, such as the stick insects are shaped like twigs or leaves. The dead-leaf butterfly of India is also another example of this type of protective coloration and camouflage. Some insects are brightly colored and can't help but be noticed by other animals. These insects are also using their coloration as protection, but in a very different way. From camouflage to warning colors, it's all a type of protective coloration and insects make effective use of it.
Insects also have their duos.
Ants and aphids are often found together. Both gardeners and homeowners know that either of these insects can sometimes be pests, but when they show up together it can only mean double trouble. Aphids, sometimes called plant lice or greenbugs, and ants have a special relationship where they help each other. Aphids provide a food resource for the ants and ants provide protection for the aphids. Ants feed on the honeydew produced by aphids.
