arranged in alternating black and white stripes, while the second group is arranged in random black and white spots. Did you know that these different patterns serve different purposes for insects? The alternating stripes in the first pattern, known as disruptive coloration, help insects blend into their surroundings and confuse predators. This allows them to avoid detection and improve their chances of survival. On the other hand, the random spots in the second pattern, known as distractive coloration, help insects draw attention away from their vital body parts. By diverting the predator's focus to less crucial areas, these insects increase their chances of escaping an attack. Nature has truly equipped insects with amazing camouflage strategies for their survival!
