The Mimic Moth Wallcovering is a 3D wall covering with a soft suede look, inspired by the Mimic Moth’s shape and habitat. The wall covering’s design comprises embossed Mimic Moths surrounded by their favourite flowers.

Batesian mimicry is a form of mimicry where a harmless species has evolved to imitate the warning signals of a harmful species directed at a predator of them both. It is named after the English naturalist Henry Walter Bates, who worked on butterflies in the rainforests of Brazil.

Meet the Mimic Moth, a recently discovered Extinct Animal. This “chameleon of the Lepidoptera family” loved to flutter day and night, unlike its nocturnal brothers and sisters.

2025年3月15日 · The ash moths of the species Podosesia syringae from the Sesiidae family have evolved to physically mimic common wasps but do not possess a stinger. A predator species that has previously encountered trouble from a wasp sting will also avoid ash moths. Thus, the moth, simply by mimicking, can avoid being hunted without expending much energy.

2024年2月15日 · Camouflage involves animals resembling inanimate objects, while mimicry refers to the similarities between different Lepidoptera species. Since the earliest evolutionists, these ideas have been used as examples of natural selection and adaptation.

2006年12月20日 · Cases of mimicry provide many of the nature's most convincing examples of natural selection. Here we report evidence for a case of predator mimicry in which metalmark moths in the genus Brenthia mimic jumping spiders, one of their predators.

For instance, there is a moth that mimics the leg movements and threat postures of a spider, and a spider that mimics both the appearance, movements and color of a stinging, distasteful ant. Because honey bees are able to defend themselves with a …

2024年1月10日 · Jumping spider mimicry is very widespread in Acentropinae. Salticid mimic species hold their wings in a tent-like formation, with the hindwings partially exposed to reveal eyespots along the outer margin. The false legs are on the forewings, and the peppering of black flecks serving as the false body is found on one or both sets of wings. Crambinae

Largish moth...about 1 and half inch in size. Wings folded like a low tent. The wing colour is like a dry leaf. Veins are prominent. The dark patches mimic fungus infested parts of a leaf to complete its look!
