Stick Insect?

Looks like a stick,maybe a twig, and brown dry. You can snap it between your fingers, if you wanted to, without a sweat.You may get a pat on your back, for spotting it.Its been stomped over by all kinds of creatures, without most of them realising it.

The very features, that makes this creature appear weak/vulnerable to us, is also its strong point. It blends perfectly in its habitat. What appears as a harmless stick or a twig, maybe a stick insect if you noticed it move,is actually a praying mantis, a supreme predator at its level of the ecosystem. It uses its camouflaging abilities for effective hunting. It's so effective as a predator, it's even used as an organic pest controller in some parts.

Well, there's another way of looking at the whole thing. Isn't there an old adage which goes like, In one's strength lies one's weakness?
