Mimicry. Mimicry the close resemblance of 1 plant or animal
to another for some purpose. mimicry is a similarity of one organism, usually
an animal, to another that has evolved because the resemblance is selectively
favoured by the behaviour of a shared signal receiver that can respond to
both.[1] Mimicry may evolve between different species, or between individuals
of the same species. Often, mimicry evolves to protect a species from
predators, making it an antipredator adaptation.[2] The resemblances that
evolve in mimicry can be in appearance, behaviour, sound or scent.
