A caterpillar mimics a snake to scare her enemies

This is the larva of the moth Hemeroplanes Triptolemus, in the Amazon rainforest near Puyo Ecuador. When disturbed by a threat, expands and exposes the underside of her body, that mimics a snake head with black eyes.

Imitation is so good, copying even the reflections of light on the skin of a snake. Sometimes also mimics and the attack of the snake to scare predators, like lizards and birds.
