Popis: |
The cryptic micro-lepidopteron Agonopteryx pulvipennella (Oecophoridae) camouflages itself against predators by distinguishing among several shades of grey and preferring landing sites that match the reflectance of its fore-wings. Variations in the time it spends searching out a site are of survival value: they increase the moth's chances of finding a good site and decrease predation risk on a poor site. |
