Crypsis


The olive green to light cream mottled appearance of G. chiragra mean that it is well camouflaged and able to blend well into its habitat. This means it is well adapted for its way of life as an ambush predator and able to sneak up on potential prey without being detected. In the same way it works for the organism to remain undetected by predators.
