Features: "Hiding from Nature 6: Frogs" - Not only do prey use these two methods to protect themselves, predators also use the same methods to deal with flying and running creatures. For example, pythons often disguise themselves as piles of leaves, while mice and rabbits are often deceived and approach these fake leaf piles to be preyed upon. Meanwhile, praying mantises disguise themselves as green leaves or fallen leaves, on one hand avoiding the search of predators, and on the other hand, they can prey on small insects like butterflies and bees that come close to them.
