偽裝 Camouflage

科學圖說 Scientific introduction

蓬萊棘螽蟴的體色花紋、胸背部和後足脛節都有葉片狀的突起。白天時隱藏在苔蘚間，與環境融為一體，想要發現牠真是困難重重。即使知道牠會取食苔蘚，但在嘗試多次之後，還是無法在白天破解牠的偽裝，可說是當之無愧的偽裝大師。

The color patterns and leaf-shaped protuberances on the tibia of its hind legs makes it difficult to spot Trachyzulpha formosana among moss and lichens in the daytime. This perfect camouflage allows this species to blend in with its food sources: moss and lichens. It is truly the master of camouflage.
