A spiny leaf insect changes color primarily as a form of camouflage, allowing it to blend in with its surroundings and evade predators. This ability to change color helps it mimic the appearance of leaves or twigs, enhancing its survival in natural habitats. Additionally, color changes can be influenced by factors such as temperature, humidity, and the insect's mood or stress levels.
