What you see in the image is not a branch, but a sits, a nocturnal butterfly. It is a small branch or excrement of a bird, in which the wings are wrapped around the body and the legs kept under the body. It is a perfect costume, almost invisible on the trunk of a beech,
that works perfectly even when it is on a leaf. After all, despite being next to the house, we can hardly see this type of chickens; rather, we can hardly appreciate that this on the bone.Phalera
bucephala sitsa, common and known in Europe.Photo:
