The amazing mimic

The Buff tip 

This moth is so special.  A truly superb mimic of a silver birch twig.  It has evolved the most incredible patterning which makes it look just like a twig.  Even better, it has a flattened head which is coloured to look like a broken stick end and even holds its wings folded in at the back to give the impression of being a broken twig of silver birch.
