Q.2 A) Read the extract and complete the activities given below.


Have you ever wondered why soldiers are always clad in green? This is to enable them

to camouflage themselves during war time. Hiding in the jungles, their green attires blend into the
surrounding trees and shrubs, making it difficult for the enemies to spot them.
Long before man made use a camouflaging, insects have already adopted the tactic of
disguise to escape from the clutches of their predators. By having body colour close to those of the

rocks and dried leaves, they can escape from being pursued by the predators.

Butterflies and moths have developed a variety of camouflage strategies since they are
quite defenceless and their predators are abundant. Possessing wings which resembled dried leaves

helps certain butterflies and moths to hide among heaps of dried leaves when predators are around.
Fortunately, not all insects choose the art of disguise to escape from their predators,
otherwise, the world would be so dull and colour less. There are insects which assimilates the bright

body colours of bees and wasps to escape from being pursued by their predators. Long ago birds had
already learnt to avoid brilliantly coloured wasps and bees in fear of their painful stings. Hence over
millions of years many harmless insects have assimilated the bees and wasps by imitating their bright

body colours and shapes. In this way they appeared danger and hence ward them off.

The beefly not only appears like the bumblebee in terms of body colour, even its hums sound
similar to. The only difference is that the beefly does not have a sting and is hence harmless. The

hoverfly is another insects which imitates the body colour of the wasps. Their bodies are striped
yellow and black. The only deviations are that hoverflies do not have stings and they have only a
pair of wings each while wasps have to pairs each. These variations are hardly noticed by the

predators and hence helps them to escap
