White-Antenna Wasp Moth + Scrub Sheoak Amata nigriceps + Allocasuarina distyla
This day-flying moth, completely harmless itself, mimics wasps with their black and orange striped bodies and translucent orange panes in their wings. This mechanism is called Batesian mimicry, where an edible or harmless creature mimics a more dangerous one in order to deter predators.
