Masters of Camouflage
Camouflage is a key strategy of species to hide from predators, but also to be invisible for prey. Typically, camouflaged species blend in with their environment. Yet, there are also species who use camouflage to do the opposite. For example, the Attackus butterfly has a snake head pattern on their wings to make it look like something scary.
