Brenthia Hexaselena
''Brenthia hexaselena'' is a species of moth of the family Choreutidae. It is found in Costa Rica. It is a rare example of a prey animal mimicking In evolutionary biology, mimicry is an evolved resemblance between an organism and another object, often an organism of another species. Mimicry may evolve between different species, or between individuals of the same species. Often, mimicry ... its predator. Mimicry Adult moths mimic the jumping spider '' Phiale formosa'', one of their predators. The moths lie low with their wings held up facing forward, their coloration, pattern and movement all resembling those of the spider. In an experiment, ''Brenthia hexaselena'' and '' Brenthia monolychna'' had higher survival rates than other similarly sized moths in the presence of jumping spiders. The jumping spiders responded to ''Brenthia'' with territorial displays, indicating that the species were sometimes mistaken for jumping spiders, and not recognized as prey. References ...
