värviparasiidid
Värviparasiidid refers to a phenomenon observed in some species where one individual's coloration influences the perceived coloration of another, often in a predatory context. This effect is not a biological parasitism in the traditional sense but rather a perceptual illusion. For example, a brightly colored prey animal might appear less conspicuous or even blend in with its surroundings when viewed by a predator that has recently consumed or is in close proximity to other similarly colored prey. The predator's visual system, in essence, becomes adapted or "tuned" to that specific color, making it harder to distinguish an individual from the background or from a group.
This perceptual adaptation can be a survival advantage for prey, as it allows them to evade predation
