Eva found a walking leaf on the roadside fallen tree trunk. I have seen stick insects but never a leaf insect for the next 5-ten minutes we were having a good time trying to take pictures and videos of this fellow. It walked with a side to side swing of the prominent leafy ends. Apart from camouflaging, this leafy thing when frighten will fake death also. The insect was unharmed in the handling. Poor insect was 5-legged, one missing front leg ( from previous jungle fighting?)
