  • Metalmark moth (Brenthia sp.). This moth imitates jumping spiders. If you squint at the image (simualting the lower resolution vision of a jumping spider that has spotted the moth), the stripes on the wings resemble legs and the spots on the wings resemble eyes, complete with catchlights. It is thought that this puts off jumping spiders from attacking as they would rather avoid a risky confrontation with another jumping spider. The photographer also observed the moth moving like a jumping spider, darting around the leaf in quick bursts. Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia. October.

  • Peppered Moth {Biston betularia} showing a comparison of the melanic form f. carbonaria next to the typical paler form on dark soot-covered bark. The melanic form has long been cited by genetic studies as an example of industural melanism. Sooty deposits on trees and other surfaces meant that the darker form was better camouflaged and more successful in industrial areas of Northern England. In recent decades air quality has imporved to the extent that the melanic form is declining in these areas and is now less frequently encountered than the typical form.

  • Cinnabar Moth {Tyria jacobaeae} caterpillar. This species feeds on Common Ragwort {Senecio jacobaea}, from which it absorbs toxic alkaloid compounds that make it unpalatable.
