He was a writer taking poetic license, all we find poven here is that you don't know the difference. It follows often that "Art" imitates life, we see beauty in various forms of expression in the brilliant patterns of nature. There is an "intelligence" to all that lives of course, in that sense life seeks to preserve itself, a pattern of behavior that would trace back to single celled bacteria, from there on up. (a long long time) The cell seeks to preserve itself in the very act of procreating & self replication, this translates on up to the instinct for survival, self preservation of all creature's behaviors, thru natural selection as one major mechanism, but traces all the way back innate to most primitive life itself. ( which starts to become 1rst colonial, then comes multicellular)

When you look at nature as one raging battle for survival of such immediate intensity, fought non stop and moment by moment over long millions of years, all simply becomes quite illuminated. Its enough to evoke compassion from the mind of man comprehending this to, and was did around 500bc.

But getting back to the mechanisms & ways creatures specialize to adapt to survive in such camoflage & mimic ways, not all are visual, there are olfactory & auditory methods of avoiding capture, this falls under the term "Crypsis" en.wikipedia.org Not just the coloration of moths or butterflies, but other ways which suggests sound absorbtion evolving growth of more furry bodies which acts as stealth evasion from echo locating bats. Try having one of those on your tail every night, you'd evolve rapdily too and there's lots of furry moths out there, surprise. A form of evasion much like your usual lines of dumb & muffled shuffling reasoning we hear here daily, that we should call you "Mothra".
