Lichenophanes is a small insect belonging to the family Lichenophanidae. It is commonly found in forested areas, particularly where lichens are abundant. This insect has a unique adaptation that allows it to camouflage perfectly with the lichen-covered surfaces it inhabits, making it difficult to spot. Lichenophanes feeds on the lichens, using its specialized mouthparts to extract nutrients from the symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae.
