June 01, 2005natural camouflageI've always been fascinated by the way nature equips some creatures with natural camouflage, so that they become almost invisible in their surroundings. Just find a Walking Stick in a bush some day. Usually, if it doesn't move, you won't see it, because it looks exactly like a part of the bush. Why do you think more people get bitten by copperhead snakes than any other poisonous variety in the South? That's because a copperhead blends in perfectly with a pile of dead leaves and you won't even notice that bastard until you step on him and he bites you. At least a rattler will try to warn you away. If you study butterflies and moths, you'll discover many who have peculiar colorings on their wings. If they land somewhere and fold their wings just right, they resemble a big-eyed predator to anything that checks them out. That's how they stay safe. People do the same thing. Wimmen wear make-up and dress sexy to disguise their predatory nature, while men strut and preen, pretending to BE predators when they actually are prey. Mother Nature is a clever old bitch. Comments
Yep. I got natural camofluage. Bet you can't spot me in a crowd of tall, fat, white, redneck country boys. :-) Posted by: assrot on June 1, 2005 11:35 AM"Man Eater" was one of my favorite songs.. Around my place are five different colors of lizards-or at least it seems that way. The little shits take on whatever color they need to blend into the scene. They move just in time to startle my better half and her scream jolts me out of the porch rocking chair. May have to get a damn cat to eat the little bastards. Then a dog to eat the cat after the lizards are gone. And after that kill the fucking dog and put out a lot of ant and spider poison. On the second thought I'll put up with the old ladies howling and keep the lizards.

Posted by: Bonita on June 1, 2005 02:31 PMI remember taking a fishing trip on the Petuxant River in Maryland...all excited cause we were going for Jumbo Spot. Damn, when the first fish was finally hooked I couldn't believe my eyes...tiny little fish with a huge black spot on it. I was so disappointed. But it was nature's way to protect it......letting predators think that spot was a big ole eye so the fish must be big too....leave it alone!
