Dead Leaf Mimics

I spotted a number of interesting insects one night inside my home. They all shared something in common, which was that all of them looked similar to a dead leaf. Here's a katydid.




A big moth that shared the exact same colour as the katydid above.




And then a moth with different shades of brown. It would still look extremely camouflaged in leaf litter.

Interesting subject. I would love to see more posts from you. By the way, Jeff Corwin who you admire, bought some of my artwork.

John, all I've got to say is WOW and Congrats! It's amazing to hear that! I'm sure you should be really happy to have your artwork bought by Jeff Corwin!
