Something that occurs when a group of organisms, the mimics, have evolved to share common perceived characteristics with another group through the selective action of a signal-receiver or dupe.
They are animals that mimic others species. ex.- salamanders, wasps, bees, coral snake, some kinds of butterflys, caterpillars, and cuckoo are some examples.
The monarch butterfly eats milkweed and is so bitter to the taste as a result that birds avoid it. The viceroy butter fly mimics the monarch (looks like it) and receives the same protection.

What does mimicry mean in the science term?
In evolutionary terms, mimicry is the similarity of one species to another that provides benefit for one or both species. This can include similarities in things like; appearance, behaviour or scent. An example of this is a harmless butterfly which mimics the patterns of a poisonous butterfly so that predators stay away. This form of mimicry is known as Batesian mimicry.
What is the meaning of MIMIRCRY?

Why do you think that mimicry and camouflage exist in nature?
Both are forms of passive defense. Camouflage is when a species evolves to have colours and paterns simlar to its natural environment allowing it to blend in and thus hiding it from predators. Mimicry is when one harmless species evolves to look like a dangerous one. Because animals learn not to attack or eat the dangerous one they are also afriad to eat the mimic because they think it is the same species. An example of this is the harmless hornet (there are also dangerous species) which has evolves black and yellow stripes to look like wasps, which of course have stingers. As predators dont like to attack wasps they learn not to attack hornets either. For this type of defense to work there must be more of the dangerous species than the mimic otherwise the predators will be more likely to get the mimins and thus learn the patterns they have to be safe patterns.

The examples are tire ,ballon ,and beachball and the non-examples are shoe,chair,and bed
What are not examples of mimicry?
Some examples of mimicry can include Batesian mimicry, where a harmless species mimics a harmful one, and Mullerian mimicry, where multiple harmful species resemble each other for greater protection. Conversely, basic coloration or camouflage that does not involve imitation or deception would not be considered mimicry.
