Ants follow scent trails of other ants to find food. Guards in anthills smell an intruder and go 'oh, you're an ant, move along'. So, if you smelled like an ant, you could walk right in.Also, a few predators will roll in the dung of their prey, in order to mask their scent AND smell like their prey. Lions do it. This is also the instinct that makes dogs roll in feces.The trick to sensory camo is that you're going to have to tailor it to combat certain species, in very specific circumstances. What works on those humanoid wolves may not work on those humanoid bugs. The same way that wearing an orange vest in the woods doesn't hide you from people.[/sblock]</blockquote>
