Indeed they are and just look at those powerful legs. With legs like that, you would have enough leverage to really stab some unsuspecting victim with your rostrum. Really a nice image here Jim

You would almost think that they would hop but I know they don`t. I think it is more for Camouflage like the other ones that truly have legs that look like leafs. Very good DOF and Focus Jim.
