PROTECTIVE RESEMBLANCE 



Hawk Moth, settled down on a branch, and very difficult to 

 detect as long as it remains stationary. Note its remarkable 

 sucking tongue , which is about twice the length of its body. The 

 tongue can- be quickly coiled up and put safely away beneath the 

 lower part of the head.
