Metalmark Moth mimicking its Jumping Spider Predator

With their raised wings and the eye-like pattern Metalmark Moths of the genus Brenthia in the family Choreutidae look like Jumping Spiders, Salticidae which prey on small insects, such as moths. Even their jerky leaps resemble that of a Jumping Spider. Apparently this gives them an advantage in the struggle for survival because Jumping spiders mistake them as fellows and not recognize them as prey. This is a rare example of predator mimicry.

Imagine if you had to 'zombie walk' for the rest of your life. Its amazing how a species naturally mimics another for the entirety of its life. Always in character. How did they evolve that way??

That’s exactly what I do upon encountering a spider!

I searched this up cus I had a nightmare about a spider moth

Evolution just happened to produce this ... by chance.... unexpectedly.... independently... and it all ended so perfectly... seriously...
