Below are two studies of a 'Walking Leaf' insect, perhaps a variety of Phyllium, which the author believes was from the West Indies. Plate 258 from chapter 48 of Gleanings of natural history, exhibiting figures of quadrupeds, birds, insects, plants, &c..., by George Edwards, volume 1 (London, for the author, 1758).
