this is not mimetism is camouflage. An insect that has evolved to mimic another organism, always looks like that organism, independent of the environment in which it is, is what I know
Fascinating specimen and great capture!
Excellent mimetism. Maybe you can add it to this mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8015991
