Field Notes
Description:
"They present a classic example of disruptive crypsis — a particular kind of camouflage that works by confusing the eye and destroying all impressive of shape, rather than by matching background colours — you see the bits, but you can't easily put them together to form the familiar moth shape." — Field Guide To New Zealand Wildlife - Terrence Lindsey
