Why are some insects brightly coloured?
|
Some insects have bright colours to attract one another to mate. Others, such as the ladybird, advertise the fact that they taste nasty by being colourful. Birds and other predators soon learn to associate bright colours and bold patterns with creatures that taste nasty or that might be poisonous.
