Nature is full of colour and beauty. Plants, animals, birds and insects have many beautiful colours. Colour, however, for animals, birds and insects is not only for beauty. It means life to them because it helps them hide from their enemies. Some moths, for example, use colour to make birds fear them. The colour on the moth`s body is a sign to birds. Seeing them, birds won`t eat the moth. One kind of fish can change its colour to match the surrounding sea plants or rocks. The fish`s enemy can`t see it.
