What animals use camouflage in the tropical rain forest?

Answer 1

The Tropical American Silkworm caterpillar uses mimicry by having fake eyes on its thorax to scare potential predators. Another example of mimicry in the rainforest is a tiger moth species. Instead of visual, its defensive mimicry is auditory. Bats prefer the tiger moth over another moth species, so the tiger moth mimics the sounds of the other moth. This sometimes tricks the bats into leaving the tiger moth alone.

Answer 2

Animals in the tropical rainforest that use camouflage include leaf-tailed geckos, stick insects, jaguars, and leaf butterflies. These animals use their appearance to blend in with their surroundings, making it difficult for predators to spot them.
