Summary
| Description |
English: Batesian vs Müllerian mimicry. A Batesian mimic dupes predators by deceiving them through its resemblance to a harmful species such as a was. A Müllerian mimic honestly signals its harmfulness, so the predator is not duped; further, different harmful species mimic each other, so they are each both model and mimic, sometimes forming extensive mimicry rings involving many species with similar patterns and coloration. |
