Amazing nature - the art of camouflaging

Nature plays with us, continuously testing and challenging our senses.

Like the senses of any other predator in its realm.
(Why are our human senses with the same abilities of all others predators, actually? Or, actually, with worse.)

Or, at least the abilities of my senses are not very good.
But I am sure that your body and mind will react in the same way as me in a similar situation in which you have to distinguish almost completely identical colors and shapes.

Oh, I saw a lot of camouflaged animals in the garden this summer. Even ones I haven't seen before.
It took me a while for some of them to see and recognize them.
For others, it took time for my camera or phone lens to see and recognize them.

Just as is the case with this caterpillar.
No matter how hard I tried to focus on it, I still couldn't shoot it.

And I'm in a hurry to tell you all this before I show you the pictures themselves. So that you don't think I want to publish bad photos here, or that I'm not a photographer (even though they were taken with a phone).

As this awesome community is called Amazing Nature, I want to show you here one of the amazing manifestations of the incredible abilities of nature.
Because it is obvious that it has done its job perfectly here. Since even technology cannot see and focus this camouflaged creature.

But even though unfocused, nature still provided me with a work of art to photograph that day. Don't you think so? 😊🐛

They continue to camouflage, even after you've already seen them 😃 That's the case with my misfortune pictures.
Thank you very much!😊

What a great photo, nature does its job well, I've tried to take this kind of pictures and it's really difficult because of what you said, very complicated to focus while there is movement but I think you got a great result!

Thank you very much for your kind words, @dimascastillo90! Although I have to disprove you.🙂 That's not a great result. In fact, I was quite disappointed after I saw it on the computer screen. Because I really tried to focus on the animal and not on the plants around. But it simply didn't work.
And it was because of the colors that the lens couldn't focus it. You should try it sometime - to focus a particular object when it is surrounded by similar colors.
Regards 😊

I insist, they still personally looked very good (I have seen "disappointing" pictures) and it is not your case 🤪 greetings 😊
