Field Notes

Description:

This small moth wants (and succeeds) to mimic a jumping spider with perfection. Depending on the angle you look, you can actually see the eyes of a jumping spider arming an attack towards you. One of the simplest and fantastic forms of mimicry I've ever seen, by the "insignificance" of this small insect and the effect it can produce.
