I am a Red-banded Hairstreak
On my wings I have eye spots and two tails
This makes it looks my head's on my end,
So when a spider tries to get me he fails.

(Note: Check out the link below for details on how they fake out spiders using these tails.)

Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Fellsmere
