SEEK TO Terribly ENEMIES
Insects, Physically Unable to "Put Up
Fight" Resort to All Sorts
of Schemes.

1t is generally believed hat many
animals, especially insects, assume
what is called a terrifying attitude"
by means of which they escape their
natural enemies. In the Geological
"Jahrbuch" Mr.. Arnold Japha de-
scribes the terrifying attitude" of the
hawk-eyed moth.
During the day this insect sits with
folded wings on the willow, or other
tree. The eye spot and the rose-red
part of the wings are hidden, and the
moth looks like a group of dried will
low leaves. This is it's protective at
titude, by which 1t wishes to escape
observation. But If disturbed, It i'm
mediately the terrifying at
titude.' The eye spot and red are dis
played, thoraX arched, abdomen curved
up. This is accompanied by a protru-
ding and retracting of the front of the
body.
The movement lasts some few sec
onds, or half a minute. This is thought
to brighten the moths enemies. The
eye spot may suggest the eye of some
larger animal, while the energetic
motion may give the impression that
the enemy itself is about to be seized
and devoured.
But does the moths terrifying at
titude' really brighten its enemies, and
allow 1t to escape; S~tandfuss tried
some experiments with a view to set
Ting this point. He gave specimens
of the moth to nightingale, red-breast,
black-cap and other birds. Four out of
five were obviously frightened when
the moth assumed the terrifying at
titude," and left it alone after one
trial.
