The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage.

When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig.

Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?

Illustration of a bunch of kids playing and hanging out underneath a busy overpass. The children on the right wearing Malaysian primary school uniforms which are standard throughout the nation. The ones on the left are in their school sports clothes. Most Malaysian children are bilingual, and our traffic signs are in several languages.
