Even an unusual angular form, like a crooked twig or inorganic substance, may be protective; as Mr. Poulton thinks is the case with the curious caterpillar of Notodonta ziczac, which, by means of a few slight protuberances on its body, is able to assume an angular and very unorganic-looking appearance.

reesetee commented on the word ziczac
The Egyptian Plover, Pluvianus ægyptius (Charadrius melanocephalus). May have been the trochilus or "crocodile bird," said by Herodotus to live on insects inhabiting crocodiles' throats and/or teeth and thereby to serve as a warning to the crocodile of intruders or danger. The name "ziczac" derives from the sound of the bird's call.
