“Even an unusual angular form, like a crooked twig or inorganic substance, may be protective; as Mr. Poulton thinks is the case with the curious caterpillar of Notodonta ziczac, which, by means of a few slight protuberances on its body, is able to assume an angular and very unorganic-looking appearance.”

reesetee The Egyptian Plover, Pluvianus ægyptius (Charadrius melanocephalus). May have been the trochilus or "crocodile bird," said by Herodotus to live on insects inhabiting crocodiles' throats and/or teeth and thereby to serve as a warning to the crocodile of intruders or danger. The name "ziczac" derives from the sound of the bird's call. Nov 25, 2008
