This is an Australian Leaf Insect, Phyllium monteithi. They are endemic to the Wet Tropics Region in Queensland. Their body resembles a leaf, even displaying leaf-like venations – this allows them to camouflage easily into their rainforest background. 🌿 😁

Did you know? 🤔 Cicadas live underground for around 6-7 years. Spending most of their life underground as nymphs (small, wingless cicadas), living on the sap from plant roots. When the nymph reaches full size it digs its way to the surface with its front legs! 🪲

ooking up through the canopy, every leaf and branch tells a story of survival and growth. 🌱
