Stick Insects

The stick insect is just like its name implies, and its clever camouflage can disguise itself from various predators. The bodies are shaped and colored, just like the twigs in the background, and the insects can straighten the limbs and antennae out to further hide in the surroundings.

If an enemy is able to see through the leaves and mossy environments, the insects have a second line of defense. Some stick insects can spray a strong odor at their attackers. The secretion also causes mouth and eye irritation, allowing for enough time for a quick getaway.
