Just kicking back photographing this nice caged jar of Holly Oak leaves......
......wait a minute.......that leaf ain't no leaf!!
These are Phyllium giganteum, the giant leaf insect and possibly the coolest of all insects. I quite fancy trying to get a colony of Phyllium going this year but sadly this species is supposed to be quite difficult to culture. Others are easier though.

wow, that's an amazing insect.
Is there a second one in the top photo, on the left? It looks very similar to me.
That is correct Tony, there are two in shot 1.
