There are times when we think "oh, that person is a show off." Admit it, we've all thought it at one time or another.

Humans typically call for attention by adorning themselves with "accessories." It might be a diamond, or perhaps a shiny new car or, gulp, motorcycle.

In nature, however, creatures show off by disappearing.

In motorcycling we know that conspicuity saves lives. In the wild inconspicuity saves lives.

The Hawk flying above this fellow thinks he is part of a plant. How neat is that!
