The small slug moth caterpillar is very good at appearing to be just another brown patch on a leaf, thus avoiding predation.

it does blend in very well, right down to the blister on its back..

At a glimpse of the eye you would not see this minute insect as it blends in so well with its background. Great shot, Christine.VV!
