The giant leaf insect (Phyllium giganteum) is one of the undisputed masters of mimicry. Its broad, veined body, dotted with brown markings, perfectly imitates a leaf, to the point of deceiving both its predators and the human eye.

It showcases the creative power of nature, where illusion becomes a survival strategy. This piece is presented in a refined frame adorned with the Deyrolle brass plate.
