Why are most insects that are dangerously vemonous/poisonous colorful?
In: Biology
To scare off predators in the case of poisonous. It would be better to advertise you’ll kill anything that eats you rather than get eaten. It acts as a deterrent.
As for venomous creatures, often they’re not colourful, think black mambas or comodo dragons. They are hunters and don’t want to advertise they’ll kill you.
