The lives of grasshoppers that feed on
leaves pass naturally among the leaves.
Because the colour of their bodies resembles
that of leaves, it is generally not possible for
their greatest enemies, lizards and birds, to
notice them. Thus, grasshoppers live and
feed in safety.
No one can claim that grasshoppers were
transformed to "become like leaves"
because they spent time besides leaves, or
that they somehow turned themselves into
leaves.
It is clear that the leaf-eating grasshoppers
were created along with such a camouflage
so that they could survive.

"Is He Who creates like one who does
not create? So will you not pay heed?"

(Surat an-Nahl: 17)
