They can be of different sizes, shapes and colours, imitating different leaves types... from fresh green to rotten brown (even with fungis on it!)

here you can see some nice species Tettigoniidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The link also showes how different they can be... (but the diversity of the family is higher than what is shown in the Wiki )

Thats it!!! thats it!!!!

Holy cow, did it scare me! It looked like a leaf, and I touched it, and it jumped towards me..and yeahh, I looked pretty darn funny
