Better camo than you'd see at Monster Truck shows:

As a bird flies overhead, two insects freeze, hoping not to be noticed. If one of the insects is just the slightest bit more difficult to see, the other will be more likely to be eaten. This rule of nature is best summed up: "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you." So in the constant struggle to hide better than the competition, the result is near invisibility.

The mimics
