Camouflage vs mimicry vs masquerade
Camouflage (Crypsis): This is the art of blending into the background so you become invisible. A green grasshopper hiding in green grass is camouflage.
Mimicry: This is when an animal evolves to look like a different living organism, usually to trick a predator into thinking it's dangerous or unpalatable. For example, a harmless moth evolving to look and buzz exactly like a stinging wasp.
