Next Episode Sneak Peek: These Giant Leaf Insects Will Sway Your Heart
🕑 Added 2019-10-04 16:00:03 +0000 UTCGiant Malaysian leaf insects stay still – very still – on their host plants to avoid hungry predators. But as they grow up, they can't get lazy with their camouflage. They change – and even dance – to blend in with the ever-shifting foliage.
We hope you enjoy this first look at our newest episode. You can start sharing it with other science fans on Tuesday, October 8th fromYouTube. Thanks!

This insect isn't native to California, but it is currently on display at a local museum. Since they live in tropical areas, they don't need to leave their habitats as the temperature doesn't change.

you usually do episodes about Californian natives, is this giant Malaysian leaf insect natural here? and what about season changes, does it move else where to hide during the fall and winter months?
