    Default The eye that's not there

    ID: Common silverline's false eye/tail

    One of the best example of mimicry for self defense, the tail of the common silverline beautifully mimics the eyes and antennae of the butterfly. Probably an effective way to fool the predator, the false head would serve as the detour and any attack to it might lead to less fatal effect on the butterfly and also might help in getting off the attack zone. The mimicry can be effective enough to confuse any novice who might encounter this beauty for the first time.

    Interesting ways of nature to offer protection. Is the AF point locked on the leaf in the bottom, not sure? Thanks for sharing.
