In the moonlit woodlands of Australia, these ghostlike sentinels melt into tree branches, nearly indistinguishable from bark. They wait in perfect stillness, then snap up moths, beetles, and other night-flying insects with wide, silent mouths. What makes them extraordinary is their role in the nocturnal balance — by keeping insect populations in check and relying on camouflage rather than flight, they embody a different rhythm of survival. Masters of disguise by night, yet quiet guardians of the darkened forest.
