Some of the observations were made with the trout Salmo fario in New Zealand 
rivers. He concludes that “ There are many factors which determine whether or 
not, at any particular time, an animal will prey upon another, of which relative 
palatability is one. Birds and fish are deluded by rough resemblances (of inanimate 
objects) to the insects upon which they are at the time feeding.”
