Crazy moss-mimicking stick insect in Ecuador

This moss mimic walking stick was filmed at Finca Palmonte near Baños in Ecuador. During the daytime it hangs on moss covered twigs, where it is nearly imperceptible and only becomes active at night to feed on orchid leaves. It not only looks like moss but when disturbed even moves like it was waving in the wind! Source & embed code: For licensing, please email licensing@.
