Nature's adaptations are amazing and wonderful
I can imagine, that you were shocked, the predating bird as well ;-)...
Thank you. I love being reminded of old spottings and the trip that helped me acquire them.
Wouw..great pic..
I thought too, and felt very fortunate to have found them, hidden in a corner. I sent several people over to see them and no one found them without my help
And what's even more amazing is the perfect camouflage with closed wings, see #3: Incredible!!!
Very interesting! I've often wondered why they evolved that way.
YES!!! Cool!!
