Description
Unlike typical moths, larvae of Mimas are known for their remarkable horn-like projections, giving them an almost mythological appearance. These projections are not merely for show; they play a crucial role in the larval defense mechanisms against predators. Despite their intimidating larval form, adults are notable for their ability to mimic leaves and twigs, showcasing an incredible evolutionary adaptation for survival.
