Phylliidae leaf beetles are insects that mimic the leaves of plants by color and body shape. They are distributed in the tropics of Southeast Asia.

The main color of these insects is bright green, but there are also forms with yellow and orange coloring. In many species, the coloration is often with black or brown spots on the edges of the body, which gives an additional resemblance to the leaf.

Length up to 12.5 cm . The body of females is wide and flat, while males are mostly narrow, with longer wings covering the entire body. Due to their light weight, males of many species are able to fly, but for very short distances.

In nature, they spend most of their time on the leaves of trees and shrubs, which they imitate with their shape and body color, and which they feed on
