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 Hübner 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.

The Autumn Leafwing is one of the most beautiful butterflies. When it's wings are lifted, they can resemble the shape of a pair of lips as demonstrated here :)

They look just like a dry leaf achieving one of the best camouflage through natural selection. Read more about this beautiful butterfly at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kallima_paralekta
The habitats of this species are diverse, and include deciduous forest, rainforest and cloudforest, at elevations between sea level and about 1200m. It can be found along forest edges and wide sunny forest tracks, and along the banks of rivers and lagoons.
Tiger Leafwings feed at rotting fruit on the forest floor.
Species which are noxious to birds generally have bright aposematic warning colours on both wing surfaces, although the colours on the underside are usually less bright. On the other hand species that are palatable tend to rely on camouflage to protect them when they are at rest. These species typically have underside patterns that simulate dead leaves. In the case of Consul fabius the dead-leaf appearance is enhanced by the marbled pattern and jagged wing shape.
