In the moon-washed woodlands of Australia, these bark-shaped night watchers melt into branches as if carved from the tree itself. By day they remain perfectly still; by night they come alive, sallying out to snatch insects and small prey from the air and ground. What makes them extraordinary is their mastery of stillness — blending so completely into their surroundings that predators and prey alike pass them by, helping keep nocturnal ecosystems in quiet balance. Motionless silhouettes by daylight, yet vigilant guardians after dusk.
