Consider the peacock butterfly, a winged insect that was named for the large, colorful spots on its wings.
In 2005, researchers published a report on their tests to identify factors that help peacock butterflies
defend themselves against insect-eating birds. The researchers made two observations. First, when a
peacock butterfly rests, it folds its wings, so only the dark underside shows. Second, when a butterfly sees a predator approaching, it repeatedly flicks its wings open and closed, while also moving the hind wings in a way that produces a hissing sound and a series of clicks.
