A Critter

I think I just found a bug to add to my list of favorites. It's definitely another amazing thing that makes the world amazing.


Hemeroplanes Triptolemus:

In its larval form, the Hemeroplanes triptolemus is capable of expanding its anterior body segments to give it the appearance of a snake, complete with eye patches. This snake mimicry extends even to the point where it will harmlessly strike at potential predators.[2][3]
