The mossy stick insect (Taraxippus samarae) is a brilliantly camouflaged species native to the rainforests of Central and South America. Its body is covered in textured, moss-like projections that break up its outline, allowing it to blend seamlessly into lichen-covered branches and bark. This remarkable disguise, combined with its slow, deliberate movements and nocturnal habits, makes it nearly invisible to predators in its damp, shaded habitat.
