i am philosophical about nature, i have to be, as an observant person and a scientist bent mind it just is what happens... naturally... heh... um, so if we push this a bit and think about it, is a mimic like a chamelion lying when it blends in, or a Viceroy butterfly when it fakes out trying to look like a Monarch or the Cuttlefish? it's facinating to me. but it is also facinating to me to observe how a Praying Mantis eats what it has caught and how it goes about cleaning itself when it is done before it moves on to the next and since i've spent hundreds of hours watching them and been interested in them for eons i'm always glad to see them here (both the green and brown types are present - but the green are the larger population). the same with ants. facinating creatures that put on almost the full range of human social behaviors but exhibited from a communal system of beings really unlike us. are they lying about anything? i know they have parasites which lie via how they smell and other tricksters.
