The mimicry can be similar to its models by mimicking their behavior, appearance, scent, sound and location. This occurs when a group of organisms can share the same of the perceived features of another group that they can model themselves after. The mimicry can come in handy when faced with a predator or any other kind of danger. A perfect example of a butterfly’s mimicry is the visual aspect. The butterfly can camouflage itself to any kind of its surroundings or even mimic another group of organisms to protect itself from danger. The visual mimicry is often accompanied by offaction and hearing to help keep protected.
It can also involve morphology and behavior that mimics its models beautifully. The butterfly’s mimicry usually work best on those models that are closely related to them. Although the visual mimicry is the most effective method of avoiding a predator, the smell will also help to cover their tracks. The sound as well will also complement the smell and visual aspect of the mimicry to perfection. The predator will pass the butterfly’s mimicry easily confusing the insect for another form of organism. A butterfly’s mimicry is certainly at its finest and trickiest when all of these characteristics are put into one mimicry, combined beautifully.
