Camouflage

This Buckeye Butterfly thought she was hiding from me! Right out in the open! If you have trouble finding her in the top picture, click on the picture, and it will enlarge . . . then you'll see her!


A closer look.
She is very well disguised, and hidden in this dry grass. This is called camouflage.
When birds and animals and even insects are almost invisible in their environment, it makes it more difficult for predators to find them.
