For example, the Orange Oakleaf, as evident from its name, has wings that are of the colors of a dead leaf. So when it lands on a branch, it looks exactly like a normal leaf at a glance.

Another example could be the chameleon. It is a type of lizard. Just as its name, it will change its skin color based on its surrounding environment.
