Pale and melanic (carbonaria) morphs of the peppered moth Biston betularia
(Lepidoptera: Geometridae) resting on (a) pale, lichen-covered and (b) dark trunks.

4. Figure 14.3
A leaf-mimicking katydid, Mimetica mortuifolia (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae), in which the fore wing resembles a leaf even to the extent of leaf-like venation and spots resembling fungal mottling. (After Belwood 1990.)

The eyed hawkmoth, Smerinthus ocellatus (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae). (a) The brownish fore wings cover the hind
wings of a resting moth. (b) When the moth is disturbed, the black and blue eyespots on the hind wings are revealed. (After Stanek 1977.)

The distasteful and warningly colored caterpillars of the cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae), on ragwort, Senecio jacobaeae. (After Blaney 1976.)

10. Figure 14.6
A caterpillar of the orchard butterfly, Papilio aegeus (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), with the osmeterium everted behind its head. Eversion of this glistening, bifid organ occurs when the larva is disturbed and is accompanied by
a pungent smell.

12. Figure 14.7
An aggregation of sawfly larvae (Hymenoptera: Pergidae: Perga) on a eucalypt leaf. When disturbed, the larvae bend their abdomens in the air and exude droplets of sequestered eucalypt oil from their mouths.

Three nymphalid butterflies that are Müllerian co-mimics in Florida: (a) the monarch or wanderer (Danaus plexippus); (b) the queen (Danaus gilippus); (c) the viceroy (Limenitis archippus). (After Brower 1958.)

15. Figure 14.10
Defense by mandible snapping in termite soldiers (Blattodea: Termitoidae). (a) Head of a symmetric snapping soldier of Termes in which the long thin mandibles are pressed hard together (1) and thus bent inwards (2) before they slide violently across one another (3). (b) Head of an asymmetric snapping soldier of Homallotermes in which force is generated in the flexible left mandible by being pushed against the right one (1) until the right mandible slips under the left one to strike a violent blow (2). (After Deligne et al )
