Natural selection

A fortunate coincidence occurred when I was taking a shot of this butterfly, a wasp foraging for wood to build a nest landed just above it, providing two clear examples of natural selection that protect these species from predators.

The Comma Butterfly, so named because of the distinctive white comma on its under-wings, has a ragged outline and drab underside that looks exactly like a dead leaf when it hibernates in hollow trees or sheds during the winter.
Disguise is its selected way of surviving.


The wasp, on the other hand, uses its bright yellow and black hooped body as a warning to predators that it is highly dangerous/ toxic.


What a glorious day.
Hope you were able to enkoy it.
