Accepted Answer

Cryptic colouration refers to an animal's ability to blend in with its environment, making it difficult for predators to spot them. The "walking stick" insect that resembles a twig is a classic example of cryptic colouration as it blends in with the vegetation around it, making it difficult for predators to notice it.
