Unidentified moth mimicking bird dung on a leaf. The mottled white colour of this moth,and its size and shape,resemble that of fresh bird dung. The behaviour of this moth is to spread out flat its wings and to remain still on the top of a leaf. Through this mimicry the moth blends in with its background,and by being mistaken for something else,it is protected from predators | |
