Crypsis

Strategy for predator avoidance, avoid being seen by blending into environment. Can be inactive or actively changing with environment. Can also vary from season to season. Cost can be energetic costs to development and changing some also limit mauver ability. Benefit increases search and handling time for predators making them less profitable prey. If still seen can develop startling colours to scare prey. Could be confusing in sexual communication. Seasonal crypsis is energy costly and can be context specific if seasons change to slow you no longer blend in.
