How does a insect camouflage itself?
Butterflies use camouflage as an effective survival strategy. Butterflies that might find tasty are well camouflaged or just drab. Some develop spots to frighten or distract predators,like birds, Some have, "eye spots" on their wings that look like eyes of a larger animal. Some species have bright spots near the tail that draw the predator's attention away from the head. Many butterflies have chunks missing from their hind wings. Which made the predator avoid attacking the botterflies head, which would be fatal. They can still fly.Brightly colored butterflies are either poisonous--or mimics of a poisonous butterfly. Butterflies that birds might find tasty are well camouflged or just drab to blend in when they are resting on a tree trunk or rocky ground.

What do you need to set a habitat for a ladybug?
Supplies:
Cut three pieces of wood the same size and sand the edges. These will be the back and sides of the ladybug house. Nail them together.
Cut a piece to fit the bottom of the house and sand edges. Attach this to the box with nails. Now is the time to cut a top for the ladybug house. Sand and nail the top to the box.
Measure the piece for the front of the ladybug house. It should be slightly smaller than the sides and back to give the ladybugs room to enter and exit as they please. About an inch or so will do. After sanding, attach the front piece to the box with washers to allow access for adding food, water and for cleaning the house.
Paint the ladybug house or use a sealant so it will last through weather longer. Decorate the outside of the house if desired.
Affix the ladybug house to a short pole in the garden, preferably about a foot or two off the ground.
Nectar attracts ladybugs, so placing a small piece of sponge that has been soaked in sugar water inside the ladybug house. A water source and a little food, either some aphids or sweet alyssum, will help keep the ladybugs comfortable.
