Walking leaf

The Walking Leaf (コノハムシ, Konohamushi) is an uncommon insect introduced in. They are found from July to September, from 8 AM to 5 PM and can be found in all weather (rain and sun). They have a counterpart, the Walking Stick. They camouflage themselves as furniture leaves (though occasionally pulse) on the ground, but when approached they will flip over and reveal themselves. They are sold for 600 Bells.

Upon donation to the museum, Blathers the curator will say:


 * "As you can see, walking leafs are extremely proficient at mimicking the appearance of leaves. What torments me is this: they also EAT leaves... Do they look at one another and think, "mmmmmmmm"?"

After donation, the Walking Leaf can be found on the middle-terrace of the insect exhibition, in the central enclosure near the eastern-most tree stump, sharing its enclosure with the Grasshopper.

Upon donation to the museum, the Walking Leaf can be found in the upper right corner of the upper right room of the Insect section. The exhibit has this to say about the Walking Leaf:
 * "Walking leaves look just like real leaves. They're related to walking sticks, which resemble twigs. The females are better at mimicking than the males, though they can't fly. Their mimicking is so thorough that some of them even have fake bite marks on their bodies."

When donating to the museum, Blathers will say the following:

''"What a fraud! What a phony! The walking leaf is, in fact, the very embodiment of a lie! This master mimic looks like a tree leaf all the way down to the tiniest details. In fact, this bug has been known to sway to and fro as it walks...just so it looks like a leaf blown by the wind! And the fakery works! These insects look so much like leaves that even leaf-eating insects nibble on them! Lying liars, indeed! "

Real-world information
Walking leafs are part of animals that engage in crypsis. They can disguise themselves so well that some even show signs of fake bite marks, to further confuse predators. When they walk, they sway to mimic a leaf being rocked by the wind. They can be found in South/Southeast Asia to Australia.
