How does mimicry help increase an organisms chance of survival?

Answer 1

Anything that leads to survival and reproductive success is, generally, an intrinsic adaption. If a butterfly were to mimic another butterfly that was poison to it's predators then those self same predators would tend to leave the non-poison butterfly alone as well as the poison butterfly thus leading to survival and reproductive success for the mimic.

Answer 2

Predatory animals that have learned to avoid real poisonous or dangerous animals based on what they look like will also avoid animals of another species that look similar.

Answer 3

Mimicry is important because without mimicry animals will not survive and they will be easy to spot by predators that are near by like carnivores.
