mimicry the adoption by one species of any of the properties of another, such as colour, habits, structure. Particularly common in insects, two main forms of mimicry are recognized: Batesian mimicry, where two species have the same appearance (often warning colours) but one (the âmodelâ) is distasteful to predators.
Batesian mimicry is a form of mimicry typified by a situation where a harmless species has evolved to imitate the warning signals of a harmful species directed at a common predator.It is named after the English naturalist Henry Walter Bates, after his work in the rainforests of Brazil.atesian mimicry need not involve visual mimicry, but can employ deception of any of the senses. For example, some moths mimic the ultrasound warning signals sent by unpalatable moths to bat predators, a case of auditory Batesian mimicry. A cocktail of deceptive signals may also be used.
