This stick insect, Hermagoras sigillatus, obscures its outline by tucking its legs close to its body and brings its 2 front legs to hide the antennae (which often giveaway the animal’s camouflage). This form of camouflage falls under “masquerade”, where the organism utilizes this tactic to resemble something that is of no interest (eg a leaf, stick or rock) to the observer. #masquerade #camouflage #camouflagemasters #stickinsect #hidinginplainsight #shotoniphone
