3018 Code FA COR Wild Creatures That Mimic Bray
This subject shows insects which either by form or coloring, or both, so closely resemble the environment in which they live as to be detected with difficulty. The first subject is the Sumatran Stick Insect, some five or six inches long and somewhat resembling a gigantic grasshopper only more twiglike. The American Stick Insect follows; next the Leaf Winged Locust and the Malayan Walking Leaf Insect. The latter is indeed much more nearly like a leaf than like any other insect. The similarit}'^ extends through a similar veining structure and in these veins we are told there exists the same green coloring matter, chlorophyl, v/hich gives green color to the leaves and foliage in the vegetable kingdom.
