The '''walking leaf'''{{Note|{{Nihongo foot|コノハムシ|Konohamushi}}}} is an uncommon [[insect]] introduced in {{CF}}. They are found from mid [[summer]] to early [[fall]] between 8 AM-5 PM, and can be found in all weather (rain and sun). They have a counterpart, the [[walking stick]]. They camouflage themselves as [[furniture|furniture leaves]] (though occasionally pulse) on the ground, but when approached they will flip over and reveal themselves. They are sold for 600 Bells.

{{Blathers|NL|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.}}

{{Blathers|NH|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! <small> Lying liars, indeed!</small>}}

Walking leafs are part of animals that engage in [[wikipedia:crypsis|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.
