MIMICRY AMONGST THE LEPIDOPTERA. 85 



Taoth above and below. Many more cases of mimicry might 

 be cited which are exclusively of the same kind, namely, 

 the imitation of one insect by another ; but beyond these 

 there is another class of instances in which insects escape 

 danger by assuming the appearance of objects belonging to 

 the vegetable or inanimate kingdom, such as the striking 

 similarity of the underside of KaUima inachis to a withered 

 leaf. These however belong rather to the wider subject of 

 Protective Resemblance, and not to the one phase of it just 

 considered.
