The most dramatic example of protective resemblance is offered by the beautiful Kallima butterfly of the East Indies. Its large wings are ornamented on the uppermost surface with blue and orange patches, making the insect very conspicuous in flight. While flying it is able to escape capture by birds, hence these bright colors are not a disadvantage. But when it settles on a twig, it can enjoy its well-deserved rest without fear, for it seems to disappear as though by a trick of magic. All it does is to come to rest with its head up and its wings folded together over its back, exposing the brownish dead-leaf-like undersurface which makes it look like a decayed leaf still clinging to the parent stem.
