Anoplocnemis phasianus is a beautiful species of insect in the wild which is famous for its unique leg shape, the insect belongs to the coreidae family, so far many insects have been found in tropical areas such as Asia and Africa, apart from the uniqueness of its legs, this insect also has an attractive body color and pleasant to look at, the brown color that these insects have really helps them camouflage themselves in the wild to protect themselves from attacks by deadly predator hunters, usually the Anoplocnemis phasianus insect uses dry leaves to hide and act. They are perfect because they can use a body color similar to the color of dry leaves for camouflage and are very difficult for predators to detect.
Anoplocnemis phasianus has a slightly flattened body shape and tends to be long when compared to most other insects in the coreidae family.

"And to be honest, in the city I live in, these insects are better known as "leaf-footed insects", these insects also have a unique habit, namely that these insects rarely move so they can be observed up close by anyone, and of course if the insects don't feel threatened, then you can observe them at a very close distance, but you still try not to make the insects threatened because this will make the insects stay away from you.
