Identity In Nature.

Having discussed my project ideas with a friend who studies Natural Sciences, she suggested that I look into crypsis and mimicry.
Having looked further into these, I feel that this could create the link I wanted between nature and online identity.

CRYPSIS- the ability of an organism to avoid observation or detection by other organisms, organisms can visually evolve so that they resemble their surroundings, others use chromatic response to change colour in changing environments.
Other examples of this are:
- TRANSPARENCY
- CAMOUFLAGE
- NOCTURNALITY
- MIMICRY;
- BATESIAN MIMICRY- Harmless animal appear to be distasteful or poisonous.
- AGRESSIVE MIMICRY- Predators or parasites which share the characteristics of a harmless species, allowing them to avoid detection by their prey.
- AUTOMIMICRY- Where one part of an organisms body resembles another.
- EYE SPOTS- An eye like marking that resembles that of a different animal to deceive potential predators, drawing the attention away from the most vulnerable body parts.
