Whereas the robotic vacuum cleaners don’t require any help from you, you just need to set it and then carry on your work such as cooking, painting, office work, etc. as it can efficiently clean without any supervision. If their batteries die off, they will automatically go to the charge station and get charged.

When a caterpillar （毛虫）pretends to be a snake to keep off potential predators （捕食若）, it should probably expect to be treated like one.This is exactly what happened in Costa Rica earlier this year, when researchers witnessed a hummingbird defending its nest from what it interpreted to be a snake, but was actually a caterpillar, which was feeding on a leaf above the nest.
These caterpillars resemble flat dried leaves as adults. They can expand the top of their heads to expose a pair of eyespots that discourage potential predators. When disturbed, they raise their head up and move from side to side, increasing the snake-like appearance. In particular they resemble a green parrot snake, known to feed on nesting birds.
Hummingbirds have a few styles of flying: visiting flowers, feeding on some tiny insects, chasing each other, and mating territory（领土）display flights. Mobbing （围攻）behavior directed against a threat to their nest is much less common but easy to recognize if you know their flight behaviors.
The interaction of the caterpillar and the humming birds took place in Costa Rica. The comings and goings of the female hummingbird around its nest may have disturbed the caterpillar, causing it to expose its eyespots, which in turn caused the hummingbird to defend its nest us
