           IS IT A DRY LEAF OR A BUTTERFLY?

           At first glance, perceived as dry leaves, these pictures (above and below) actually are of
           butterflies. The leaf-like wings, which have many details on them - vessels to rotten parts
           and intonations of colour - provide an excellent protection for the butterflies.
           It is indeed impossible to overlook this incredible resemblance between the butterfly and
           the leaf (even the vessels and dried parts of the leaf are not omitted) and call it "chance".
           Is it not equally nonsense to accept that the butterfly made itself "leaf-like"?
