Chameleon creatures: Amazing photos of a well-hidden Orchid Mantis and other camouflaged pretenders




Near invisible: A Malaysian Orchid Mantis blends into the plant while it waits to ambush its insect prey





Camouflaged: A leaf-tailed gecko on a mossy tree trunk in a rainforest in Masoala Peninsula National Park, north-east




Hidden: A peppered moth sits camouflaged on birch tree bark in Mr Hyde's garden in Derbyshire






Blending into the background: A Violin Mantis finds some excellent camouflage among dead leaves








Unseen: A Platypelis grandis frog hides against moss in Masoala Peninsula National Park






Closer to home and this sea scorpion is camouflaged in a rockpool on the Isle of Skye
