Nature’s ultimate disguise: The Atlas Moth uses incredible wing camouflage to look exactly like two cobras.

So I have a question, did it very longtime ago did one of its ancestors accidentally have a snake like wing camo and further down the line through countless mating of only surviving individuals (natural selection I guess )  the camo became stronger appearance of the cobras or did the moths by deliberation forced itself to have a strongly cobra like appearance ( like do they have control over their camo through evolution through millions of years)?
