I'm a tree peacock. My own creature. It follows people in the forest, and when it is on the risk of being seen it just drop its leafwings. Genious.

From Wikipedia:
Kallima paralekta, commonly known as the Indian Leafwing or the Malayan Leafwing, is a species of brush-footed butterfly of the genus Kallima. Despite its common names, it is not found in India or Malaysia, but is endemic to Java and Sumatra of Indonesia. Like other members of its genus, it is remarkable for its strong resemblance to a dead leaf when its wings are folded. It was one of the species encountered by the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in his travels in maritime Southeast Asia. It is mentioned in his famous 19th-century work The Malay Archipelago as one of the best examples of protective camouflage achieved through natural selection.
They are called brush-footed butterflies or four-footed butterflies, because they are known to stand on only four legs while the other two legs are curled up; in some species these forelegs have a brush-like set of hairs which gives this Nymphalidae family its other common name.
Memphis, described by Jacob HĂĽbner in 1819, is a Neotropical nymphalid butterfly genus in the subfamily Charaxinae.
There are 61 species in the genus. All are Neotropical and the undersides of the wings closely resemble dead leaves.
