How does camouflage help an insect to survive in a habitat?

Here are some adaptations insects can have: Insects can be camouflaged. Insects that look like their environment won’t be seen by predators such as birds and lizards. This type of adaptation helps insect survive by blending in with their surroundings so they aren’t eaten or so that prey doesn’t see them hiding.

What is the selective advantage of camouflage?

When you are in danger of being prey, camouflage can help you avoid predators. But some predators use camouflage too. Camouflage for a predator may help that animal to remain unnoticed while hunting. The ability to stay undetected by prey gives the hunter the advantage of a surprise attack.

Organisms use camouflage to mask their location, identity, and movement. This allows prey to avoid predators, and for predators to sneak up on prey.

What are the three types of cover army?

Cover can be natural or man-made. Natural cover includes such things as logs, trees, stumps, ravines, and hollows. Manmade cover includes such things as fighting positions, trenches, walls, rubble, and craters. Even the smallest depression or fold in the ground can give some cover.

Do you think any types of cover can protect you from any bullets?

Concealment doesn’t provide any protection from fire, explosions, or bullets. Concealment only offers visual protection, meaning an enemy can’t see you. Concealment is dangerous as it won’t actually protect you from harm. Concealment has its place but is only used for temporary situations.
