The organism benefits because prey will avoid it. Most animals that have had a 'snoot' full of a bitter tasting (usually posion taste foul to the prey) posinous animals, they tend to avoid anything that resembles it. These visual effects are helpful in the event the prey has been bitten and has become ill from the actual posinous organism.
