          The stick insects are known for their ponderously slow
          movements and superb camouflage. With their long bod-
          ies, antennae and colors, they do indeed resemble slender
          twigs. Animals that use various forms of camouflage en-
          joy special protection with their bodily structures, shapes,
          colors and patterns, all created to match the environments
          they inhabit.
