Insects are some of nature’s most skilled illusionists, blending seamlessly into their surroundings or cleverly imitating other organisms for survival. This lecture explores the fascinating strategies insects use to hide from predators, ambush prey, and even impersonate plants, animals, and other insects. From leaf-like katydids to wasp-mimicking moths, discover how these remarkable adaptations reveal the creativity of evolution and the hidden drama of the natural world.

This lecture is free to the public, and registration is not required.
