Observers Of nature are frequently
struck with the singular resemblanees
Of insects to leaves. dried sticks, etc,
and these Iikenesses are supposed 70
have grown out Of the necessity OF
protection against or coneealment
from enemies. An interesting example
OF this kind Of resemblance was
brought to the attention Of the En-
genealogical society In London by a
naturalist. who exhibited a spider
found inhabitine some rocks near
Cannes, on which were also fastened
the cases OF a species Of moth. When
at rest the spider exhibited almost
precisely the same form and color as
the moth cases surrounding it.
