''Heliobolus lugubris'', also known as the bushveld lizard, is a species of lizard in the genus ''Heliobolus'' native to southern Africa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Reptile Database ">url=http://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/species?genus=Heliobolus&species=lugubris )〕 Juveniles of this species are black with light spots and move with a hunched gait, mimicking the appearance of ''Anthia'' ground beetles. This mimicry is thought to discourage predation, as the beetles spray formic acid as a defense mechanism and are thus less appealing targets for predators. This is one of very few recorded examples of a vertebrate mimicking an invertebrate. ==References==
