Chetone angulosa
These are expert mimics. Chetone angulosa are nocturnal moths and they mimic Heliconiinae and Riodinidae diurnal butterflyes. It has an incredible defense mecanism. When in danger it releases a yellow foam from its thorax. This foam makes them toxic for possible predators. you can watch that behaviour here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VIIP1_P...
