What is the difference between Batesian mimicry and Mullerian mimicry?
Batesian mimicry is when a harmless species or a species that is prey to predators (some textbooks might use the word 'palatable', which means savoury or tasty) copies a harmful species or a species that is not prey to other predators (unpalatable, which means unsavoury, not tasty). On the other hand, a Mullerian mimicry is when TWO (or more) harmful or unpalatable species mimic each other. These animals usually mimic each other's appearances but mimicry can also extend to behaviour. For example, say we have two frogs. One is poisonous and uses aposematic (warning) coloration by being bright blue. One is harmless and bright blue. This is a case of Batesian mimicry. But if both frogs are poisonous and bright blue, this is Mullerian mimicry.
