Fake Spider

The jumping spider claims territory by waving its legs, a behavior mimicked by a certain striped fruit fly that waves its wings to appear like a rival spider - thus avoiding predation. This trick works because the spider’s brain is hardwired to react automatically to the pattern, demonstrating a complex interaction between species.
