panel 1 of a comic. marinette dupain cheng and adrien agreste from miraculous ladybug are shown from the waist-up, side by side. marinette, a lanky teenager with shiny dark blue hair says "so you really were created only 2 years an six days ago?" with a somewhat puzzled expression. Adrien, a shorter teenager with light tan skin and blond hair, looks similarly stumped, responding "I guess? nathalie said it was the day my mom died."

panel 2. Marinette looks down at her phone, idly using it while adrien rambles. from off-screen, adrien says "i swear, i remember my sixth birthday so well, though..." "but i can't find any photos of it. so i guess it really didn't happen?"

panel 4. again, marinette and adrien are shown side-by side from the waist up. Marinette holds up her phone, showing the duolingo screen to adrien. with a neutral expression, she says "your duolingo streak is the same number of days you've been alive." adrien is flabbergasted, pausing for a moment with his mouth hanging open before saying "oh my god you're right"

he came out of the test tube with 3 streak freezes

a digital drawing of ladybug and chat noir from miraculous ladybug. chat noir, a somewhat stocky teenager with light tan skin, messy blond hair, and cat features, is laying on his stomach like a cat, holding a pink ball of yarn in his front paws. his legs are positioned in a way that would be impossible for a human, but not for a cat. He looks to the right, at ladybug, a lanky teenager with light skin, shiny dark blue hair , and bug features. she faces towards chat noir and away from the viewer, with an angry expression. she is throwing her hands up in frustration, saying "boy get your big fucking ears out of the god damned speech bubble." chat noir's cat ears are partially blocking the speech bubble.

a digital drawing of ladybug and chat noir from miraculous ladybug. The two are laying down side-by side, both with a white pillow. Ladybug, a lanky light-skinned teenager with shiny dark blue hair and bug features, is laying on her side and looking at chat noir, a somewhat stocky teenager with light tan skin and messy blond hair. Ladybug's resting position is rather normal, while chat noir is contorted oddly, in a way that would be impossible for a human, but not for a cat. He is fast asleep with a content expression. Ladybug looks concerned, thinking "how is that comfy."

The Buff-Tip Moth: the resting posture, shape, and color/pattern of the buff-tip moth allows it to mimic a broken birch twig; the moth's buff-colored head and the patches on its hindwings even resemble freshly-snapped wood

It also definitely tends to look like there's a weird little smiley face in the setae surrounding the moth's head, which is arguably even more striking but for some reason none of the sources I dug up on this species seem to mention that weirdness.

This type of camouflage is generally referred to as a "protective resemblance" -- a form of mimesis in which an animal can avoid being preyed upon by mimicking an inedible/unremarkable aspect of its environment. Many different moths are able to disguise themselves in similar ways, and it is especially common within the family known as Lasiocampidae. Some of the other species that engage in protective resemblance include Gastropacha quercifolia, Gastropacha pardale, Gastropacha populifoli, Euthrix potatori, Euthrix laeta, and Calyptra minuticornis (along with the other members of genus Calyptra). Most of these moths disguise themselves as leaves/foliage.

The buff-tip moth is particularly adept at disguising itself, however, and the fact that it so strongly resembles such a specific object (i.e. not just a dead leaf or a vague piece of foliage -- but a broken twig from a silver birch tree, in particular) makes this disguise seem even more impressive/unique.

This species (Phalera bucephala) can be found throughout the British Isles, mainland Europe, and Asia, with its range extending into Eastern Siberia.
