“People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy." - Oliver Goldsmith ------------------------------------------------------------- The 'mimic' benefits from a resemblance to a model.
Examples: Bees (models) and Flies (mimics), Wasps (models) and Flies (mimics), Ant (model) and Bug (mimic). The mimic benefit from looking a model that has a defense.
I am showing pairs of model and mimic where possible. However, the insect I show as the model may not be the actual model but is similar for purposes of illustration.
