Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves. Some birds love eating locusts (蛙虫), but birds cannot easily catch them, why?
It is because locusts change their colors with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are
green, locusts look green. But as the harvest (收获) time comes, locusts change to the same brown
color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for living and appear only at night.
If you study animals’ life, you’ll find the main use of color is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through the forests and they cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体) when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads, its enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
