Butterflies and Moths

Broken twig?

The shape and

color of this buff tip

moth make it look like

a broken twig on a tree.

As long as it stays still, it is safe

from enemies searching for a meal.

Light-colored

marks on wing tips

look like the broken

end of a twig.

MOTH DETECTIVE

Finding camouflaged moths

can be difficult. But with

a little detective work, you

may spot some. Search on

tree trunks or fences for

camouflaged moths. See

how many you can find,

but try not to disturb them.

Genius of disguise

Perfect in shape and color, this

Indian leaf butterfly blends in

completely with the leaves it

copies. Imagine how difficult

it would be for a bird to find!

Veins on the butterfly’s wings

look just like veins on leaves.
