Dedication Page

• I dedicate this book to my mommy and daddy,
  because they took care of me for 11 years so far
  and have helped me with whatever I ask them to.

3

• At one time or another, most people have
  dreamed about invisible insects. Then they
  discovered that insects can be camouflage
  themselves on leaves and on the ground.

4

• Leaf butterflies look so much like leaves that
  a bird looking for a meal will fly right by. You
  would not be tempted to eat a leaf. That is what
  protects the leaf butterfly from being eaten.

5

• An animal that does not move,
  or moves very, very slowing and looks like its
  surroundings is camouflaged.

6

• Camouflage is an important adaptation that
  helps animals avoid their predators. There are
  two basic kinds of camouflage, or blending in
  with the environment shape and color.

7

• For one thing, if the enemies cant see the
  insects, they cant be hurt as easily. We cant
  make ourselves invisible, neither can animals,
  but some animals can blend in with their
  surroundings so they are not easily seen.
