Movement can expose camouflaged prey, yet whether colour patterns help moving prey to avoid capture is a long-standing puzzle. Butterfly wings might offer an answer.

Sept 30 (Reuters) - When a bird lunges at a butterfly in mid-flight, it may see something that is not there — the insect's wings flashing beneath may not be moving where they appear to be moving. By ...

Butterfly wings are known for their striking colours and intricate patterns, but those markings may serve a purpose beyond appearance. A new study suggests that some natural wing patterns can create ...

The dazzling stripes on zebras and snakes have long been thought to interfere with a predator's perception of motion, but this hypothesis has so far received little empirical support. The authors note ...
