The lobster moth (Stauropus fagi)

Named for its lobster-like larval form, this wide-ranging insect might be spotted in parts of Europe or Asia. It lives in woodland and deciduous forest habitats, where it munches on the leaves of various plants. While it resembles a crustacean, it can also mimic ants as a way to deter potential predators.
