The species of Lantern fly that I saw today is unique in that it was able to camouflage itself to the bark of a big tall jungle tree. Its wings, head and 'snout' have colours resembling the hues and tinges of the tree bark. Its head has a 'snout' that is upturned that may look frighteningly 'horny' to its prey. It was a perfect mimicry.
