#Camouflage

It's the most wonderful time of the year - baby praying mantis season!

I haven't posted any new photos in a month or so for reasons, not least that it's been fun to look through old pictures and give them another chance at love, or views, or whatever. But yesterday I spotted the first praying mantis babies of the season, and that calls for a change of pace. Shoot, I think it should be a holiday.

The earliest I have ever seen mantis babies here is April 14. So, April 21 is right on time. I found at least five individuals, and they are so tiny and well-camouflaged that it certainly means there are lots more I haven't seen.

Hooray, and happy Baby Mantis Season!

Cochise County, Arizona, April 2024.

#octopus #cephalopod #camouflage

[amnhnyc]

Meet the Caribbean reef octopus (Octopus briareus)! This reef-inhabiting cephalopod lives in warm shallow waters, spanning southern Florida to the Caribbean, through to South America’s northern coast. It’s distinguished by its eye-catching blue coloring, but this master of disguise can change its looks in an instant. Like other octopuses, it uses pigmented cells in its skin, called chromatophores, to alter its appearance. When confronted by a foe, such as a shark, it may emit a cloud of unpleasant-tasting ink to deter its enemy from further pursuit.

Took this photo of an octopus on the sea floor and I am blown away how insanely effective this animal’s camouflage is here

Simone, 21

“I would say visual art really inspires my style. Specifically cartoons. I really love fantasy and magical worlds. I also really love layering things that are similar colors but different textures or patterns. This outfit is completely thrifted. I’m really trying to look like a forest and the creatures that inhabit it lol.”

Pink crab spider, Thomisus onustus, Thomisidae

Despite the common name, this species exhibits a wide range of coloration including pink, white, yellow, green, brown, or a combination of any of those. Like other flower crab spiders, they are able to change their color over a matter of days to more closely match their environment. Found in Eurasia and northern Africa.

Deep Water Prompt #3260

They say camouflage magic is cheap and flimsy, mirror masks, shadow cloaks. But I once knew a boy who could throw false horizons, confusing the soldiers that were always chasing us.

Did I forget to make a post for Hobie's """"Normal"""" color????

When his mask is off, people seem to get it confused with his Bisexual colors. (probs because the lighting in HQ is all over the place)
