I am once again blown away by Mother Nature. I just spent a few minutes looking for insects among the leaves on this hand before realizing that they are ALL insects. Scientists suggest the insects began to mimic the appearance of leaves, flowers, and twigs thanks to random genetic mutations and it has allowed them to hide away in vegetation to escape predators for millions of years.
(Were you able to find Oakleaf Butterfly, Orchid Mantis, Stick Insect and 2 Leaf Insects in the above photo?)
