Spiders use camouflage to mimic their surroundings or objects from the environment, in order to capture unwary prey. There is an Australian spider, for example, called the Bird-dropping spider (Celaenia excavata) which literally mimics bird droppings sitting motionless on a leaf. Other insects wander nearby, unsuspecting, and are then easily caught.
