Typophyllum trapeziforme is a master of disguise—a Neotropical katydid that mimics dead leaves with astonishing precision. Native to French Guiana and surrounding regions, this species belongs to the subfamily Pterochrozinae and uses its jagged wing edges, mottled brown coloration, and vein-like markings to blend seamlessly into forest litter. Males produce soft, pleasant chirps, while females lay eggs in rotting wood or damp florist’s foam. Though relatively new to the hobby, they thrive in warm, humid enclosures and feed on plants like Buddleia and figwort.
