Someone is holding a small twig in his hand. It is an insect of the species Carausius strumosus. This insect, originating from Southeast Asia, it looks almost exactly like a small, dry branch. With its elongated body and colors ranging from brown to green, it becomes very difficult to spot among leaves and branches.

This woody insect, which is mainly active at night, it spends its days motionless to avoid predators. When he feels threatened, it can even sway gently to mimic a branch swaying in the wind – a particularly effective survival technique.
