Synopsis

Mimicry is an awesome, and sometimes slightly weird, adaptation that many animals have developed. In many instances, it's a lifesaver, encouraging possible predators to stay away. That's the case with some kinds of harmless moths. They really look like stinging insects such as wasps and hornets, and sometimes even sound like them, which is effective for scaring away enemies like birds. Young entomologists will learn so much more about the amazing world of insects in the intriguing text and photographs in this valuable volume, a wonderful addition to any science collection.
