DEAD-LEAF BUTTERFLY (Kdllima Inachis) FROM INDIA 



It is conspicuous on its upper surface, but when it settles down on a twig 

 and shows the underside of its wings it is practically invisible. The colour- 

 ing of the under surface of the wings is like that of the withering leaf; there 

 are spots like fungas spots; and the venation of the wings suggests the mid- 

 rib and veins of the leaf. A, showing upper surface; B, showing under 

 surface; C, a leaf. 



PROTECTIVE RESEMBLANCE BETWEEN A SMALL SPIDER (to the left) AND AN 



ANT (to the tight) 



As ants are much dreaded, it is probably profitable to the spider to be like an ant. It 

 will be noted that the spider has four pairs of legs and no feelers, whereas the ant has three 

 pairs of legs and a pair of feelers.
