Their eyes are placed at the base of the beak so they can see when the beak is pointed up. As a result, they have a blind spot at the back. Camouflage pattern is a blend of earth-tone colors arranged in a pattern that creates shadows and empty spaces. They spend most of their time in thick brusshes / aspen stands. Makes an explosive sound with their wings when they take off. Luna moth = moth both are live leaves mimicry, (they are green) Inchworm / walking sticks use twig mimicry to blend well.
