How animals hide: camouflage and mimicry, sentence 3

Think of the class stick insect that nobody can find for five minutes: it is right there in the tank, but your eyes hunt for an insect shape and see only twigs.

Who acts: you, nobody, insect, eyes · What happens: think, find, be, hunt, see · To what, where: stick insect, tank, twigs
