Give a scientific explanation for the following statements:
Leaf insects are green in color.

Answer 1

Camouflage:

1. Camouflage is an adaptive feature developed in some animals, insects, and plants to acquire a protective color matching the surroundings to protect themselves from their enemies.
2. Leaf Insects are one such profound example of camouflage; their green color makes it hard to distinguish from the plant on which they are perched.
3. Therefore, the predators cannot easily identify their location over the plant.
