This bizarre leaf-like insect can boast some of the best camouflage in the natural world.
The eye-catching 'leaf insect' (Phyllium philippinicus), has a vibrant, bright green coloration which makes it almost impossible to spot amongst greenery.
With their flat bodies and unique colour, the creatures have a defence structure the envy of the insect world.
The bizarre insects even have light brown lines around the borders of their bodies to increase their camouflaged appearance.
The leaf insect is native to the Philippines, but widely bred in captivity across the world.
They are one of the more popular pet insect species, and are even kept in the UK.
Hmmm, what a creature! .......Our God is good, all the time.
