The leaf insect uses passive and active mimicry, adopting a curved pose while hanging upside down in foliage. It can vary in color and be brown, green, cream, yellowish, reddish, or completely white. Like stick insects, it actively sways back and forth or sideways when it is disturbed or when there is a gust of wind, this is done to look like it’s one of the leaves, rustling in the wind.
