Perfectly camouflaging in leaves, stalks, and branches, bush crickets, known as long-horned grasshoppers, use this cool physical feature to protect themselves from prey like spiders or rodents. They are omnivores by nature and will eat pretty much anything. Coming in a wide variety of colors, there are no less than 8,000 known species of this insect.
