What adaptations do prey have to avoid being eaten by predators?

Camouflage is a good example. The animals markings will resemble their environment so that they are harder to visually detect.
Another is Aposematic Coloration. This is when an animal will have bright coloration like stripes or spots that warn predators it is potentially toxic. These animals don't try to blend in, they let the predator know eating them would be a bad idea.

∙ 15y agothey can use a defense/diversion, ie a skunk spraying musk and octopus' ink cloud. animals can also use camoflauge to hide from prey. Looking further down the line: Natural selection will allow faster animals that get away to leave more offspring therefore making the population of the species faster.

What are the structural features of a Butterfly?
There are countless species of butterfly each with unique adaptations. Here are a few I can think of off of the top of my head. Their eyes are sensitive to certain frequencies unseen by human eyes that help them find flowers. Monarch caterpillars chew through the main veins of milkweed leaves so that they can eat the rest of the leaf without getting stuck in the milky latex. Adult monarchs (along with countless other species) are noxious or unpalatable topredators so they avoid getting eaten. Many butterflies mimic other butterflies that are noxious or unpalatable to predators to avoid being eaten. Some butterflies have patterns such as large "eye spots" that might scare a potential predator.
