4. Stick insects: Stick insects are insects that resemble twigs or branches, providing excellent camouflage in their natural habitats. Their long, slender bodies and brown or green coloration help them blend in with vegetation.
5. Leaf insects: Leaf insects are another type of insect that has evolved to resemble leaves. They have flattened, leaf-like bodies with intricate vein patterns that mimic real leaves.
