Phaneropterinae
Leaf Katydids are special insects that look just like leaves! They use their leaf-like bodies to hide from predators and stay safe in the trees.
Hábitat: Forests
The Leaf Katydids has a flattened, often bright green or brown body, perfectly mimicking a leaf, complete with visible "veins" on its wings. Its long, slender legs and antennae further blend into foliage, making it incredibly hard to spot.
