Masters of Mimicry and Deception in the Insect World
From appearance to behavior, insects have developed elaborate ruses to deceive potential predators or lure prey. Join Dr. Clare Walker as she shares amazing facts about animals that pretend to be other animals in appearance, behavior, smell or sound. From femme fatale fireflies to caterpillars who cry wolf, discover who is faking it and who is not in this program that focuses on mimicry (rather than camouflage) by local species. Clare currently works at the Irvine Nature Center and volunteers at the US Geological Patuxent Bee Lab.
