I agree Mark. Martin would whip me if he hear this, but I think that there is some degree of conscience in these critters.

I sometimes wonder to what extent these camo critters are aware of their immediate surrounds. So often they choose the exact background, position and orientation for their camo to work best. Naturally evolved camo is therefore not just about the outward appearance but also the innate sense to properly use it. I guess someone is measuring it somewhere. Great find Sergio.
