Crypsis in Leaf Insects (Phylliidae)

This collection, demonstrating the effect of cryptic camouflage in Leaf Insects (Phylliidae), has been hand set in our Cheshire based studio and mounted in a museum quality deep box frame with fixtures for easy wall hanging.

Crypsis is a result of natural selection and an adaptation by organisms to camouflage themselves within their environment either defensively, as a way of avoiding predation, or as a hunting strategy to conceal themselves from potential prey.

The frame is 21 x 30 x 6 cm and made from premium quality acrylic. Each specimen is mounted on a 300 GSM card stock background which includes both the scientific and common name of the insect printed below. The frame can either be self standing or mounted using the invisible wall bracket.

All of our specimens are ethically sourced from conservation projects around the world and help to support local communities and protect natural habitats.

Included with all of our insects is a copy of our ethos, which shows how your investment in our brand is directly helping to protect the environment against habitat destruction and the increasing loss of biodiversity across the globe. To learn more go to Our Ethos page.
