State
Aposematism is warning coloration advertising a defense; Batesian mimicry is a harmless species resembling a defended one; Mullerian mimicry is defended species converging on one warning pattern.
Show
A harmless hoverfly's yellow-and-black stripes mimic a stinging wasp's pattern, deterring predators that learned to avoid the wasp.
Watch for
Batesian mimicry needs a defended model nearby; Mullerian mimicry involves species that are each already defended.
