這項研究發表在《皇家學會學報B》上,強調了這種演化適應對於蝴蝶生存的重要性。

Butterflies have evolved wings that look like second heads, acting as a defense mechanism against predators.

Scientists at the Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research discovered this clever adaptation in butterflies.

The wings of butterflies display traits resembling fake antennae, eyes, and head-like shapes to trick predators into attacking the false head instead of the body.

This evolutionary trait helps protect butterflies from being preyed upon by predators, allowing them to escape and keep their vital organs safe.

Researchers believe that the false head function is crucial for deflecting predator attacks, as observed in 928 species of butterflies.
The study, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, highlights the significance of this evolutionary adaptation in butterfly survival.
