Mimicry in Moths,

Around about my house is a tangled
shrubbery of stunted brushwood, with
here and there silver birch, young
beech and Scotch fir, and in one corner
stands an old clubhouse, where pipe is
good at all seasons. 1t is half in ruins,
and while there one day noticed that
the dingy old brown and gray wall was
spotted with oddly shaped blotches of
q darker tint, that looked like damp.
That same evening, however, found
that the blotches had all disappeared,
though more rain had fallen and the
roof was full of holes. The next day
they had all come back. When this had
happened second time l looked more

or outspread wings, clinging fast onto
the crumbling wall.
From dusk until dawn they had been
out on the wing in the fields and woods

asleep-but at daybreak came back to
their old place of safety. The shrub

was thickly covered with green ivy and
still greener periwinkle and moss, where
sparrows, finches and tits were always
hunting for food, and they would have
been soon snapped up. On the old
weather stained wall they were safe
