Long noted by naturalists, leaf mimicry provides some of the most impressive examples of camouflage through masquerade. Many species of leaf-mimicking Lepidoptera also sport wing markings that closely
Camouflage is one of the most common defence strategies. Some crab spiders with uniform colouration have been demonstrated to camouflage on flowers via background matching. However, many more flower-v

Animals use color both to conceal and signal their presence, with patterns that match the background, disrupt shape recognition, or highlight features important for communication. The forms that these
Motion dazzle markings comprise patterns such as stripes and zig-zags that are postulated to protect moving prey by making predators misjudge the preyâs speed or trajectory. Recent experiments have
