Is it true that a 2026 Nature study reports that butterfly wing patterns create illusory motion cues in flight that may help butterflies evade predators?

Yes. A 2026 Nature paper reports that butterfly wing patterns work with flight dynamics to create illusory motion cues that confuse predators, supported by free-flight filming, phylogenetic analyses, in silico evolution and behavioural experiments.
