In mathematics, reflection symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, or mirror-image symmetry is symmetry with respect to a reflection. That is, a figure which does not change upon undergoing a reflection has reflectional symmetry.
Many animals, such as this spider crab Maja crispata, are bilaterally symmetric.
Mirror symmetry is often used in architecture, as in the facade of Santa Maria Novella, Florence, 1470.
