If only they gave awards for camouflage. It’s obviously called a buff-tip moth because stick insect was already taken.

Here’s how TikTok reacted –

How many times do we walk past things like this, never knowing what we just missed?

She thinks that’s amazing. Just wait till Chris reveals that he too is a moth.

It’s amazing how the piece of tree has adapted itself to look like a moth.

So funny how people still don’t believe evolution is real when we have things like this.

What’s more impressive is that some birds are still able to find and eat them, despite the amazing camouflage.
