A little razzle dazzle blurs my sharp outline; a venom-coloured coat deters a mouthful; a mass of moving stripes, eyespots on my wings, the magician’s misdirection diverts lascivious looks. Wear a smile, a pretty dress, or prepare to defend yourself with tooth and nail, or even worse, justify yourself. Deflect predacious eyes; hide in plain sight.
Toxic Mimic I is part of a series called Under Cover, which draws on conspicuous camouflage from the animal and insect worlds as a metaphor.
