Mimicry in animals, is when an insect will act as another insect, in appearance and/or behavior, to avoid detection from predators.

Batesian Mimicry is when a harmless organism mimics a harmful organism in order to trick predators. Examples of this would be the Scarlet King Snake, and The Eastern Coral Snake.
